A view of St. Peter's Church printed for the 1809 Oxford Almanack. In the foreground is a man leaning over and reading a gravestone. James Basire II (1769 - 1822) was a British engraver. His work is similar in style to that of his father, the engraver James Basire I (1730-1802). His apprentices included Henry Le Keux (1787 - 1868), who engraved the Oxford Almanacks between 1832 and 1839. Hugh O'Neill (c. 1774/1784-1824) (also known as Thyne O'Niell) was an English painter and lithographer. An artist and architectural draughtsman, O'Neill taught drawing in Oxford from 1813, and worked in Edinburgh, Bath and Bristol, where he settled in 1821. A prolific draughtsman, many of his drawings were published. Petter, Helen Mary. The Oxford Almanacks. Oxford. At the Clarendon Press. 1974. p100. Condition: Trimmed and missing calendar.
