University College in about 1600, Oxford, England. Detail of copperplate engraving by Joseph Skelton (c. 1783 - 1871) which appeared in ‘Oxonia Antiqua Restaurata’, published by Skelton in 1823. ‘Oxonia Antiqua Restaurata’ featured Skelton’s copperplate engravings, with descriptive text, of buildings in and around Oxford that by the early 1800s had been demolished or significantly altered. The engraving in this image comes from Volume II of the book, where it was used as part of Plate 114. That plate combined three engravings by Skelton: the arms of Osney Abbey; University College as it looked in 1600; and Oxford’s East Gate. University College was founded c. 1250, i.e. around 350 years before its c. 1600 depiction in this image. It is the oldest college in Oxford or Cambridge. Poet Percy Bysshe Shelley arrived at the college in 1810 but was expelled the following year. Joseph Skelton was an engraver who specialised in antiquarian and topographical subjects and brother of engraver William Skelton. He arrived in oxford before 1819 and was responsible for publishing ‘Oxonia Antiqua Illustrata’ and ‘Antiquities of Oxfordshire’ (1823); and Engraved Illustrations of Antient (sic) Arms and Armour from the collection at Goodrich Court from the Drawings, and with the Descriptions of Dr. Meyrick’ (1830).
