The Oxford Almanack was an annual almanack published by the Oxford University Press for the University of Oxford from 1674 through 2019 (when printing sadly ceased due to “dwindling interest”). The almanack traditionally included engravings or lithographs of the University and information about the upcoming year. Other almanack artists have included Michael Burghers, J. M. W. Turner, and John Piper. Basire and Dayes collaborated on several views of Oxford during the courses of their careers.
Michael Angelo Rooker ARA was an English oil and watercolour painter of architecture and landscapes, illustrator, and engraver.
Condition: generally good. Later hand colouring. From an entire Almanac page, cut down.
