Comments
This is Plate 4 from a series of twelve plates by Old Etonian artist George Robert Winter.
The series was published by J. Ryman, based on the High Street in Oxford, in c.1850. Each work is based on a sketch made by Winter from memory and shows a scene of everyday life or sport at Eton. The series was sold as either tinted (sepia) prints or with hand-colouring (watercolour wash) added over the tint. It was issued in two parts under the title: ‘Eton and Oxford: A few familiar scenes sketched from recollections, after an interval of several years, and dedicated by permission to the Earl of Darnley, by a contemporary’.
George Robert Winter later became Canon of Norwich.
