To Joseph Goodall, D.D. Provost, and the Reverend the Fellows, This View of Eton College, is by Permission, most humbly dedicated, by their much obliged and devoted Servant, John Buckler.
Drawn & Etched by J. Buckler, F.S.A. Engraved by R. Reeve.
Published May 1814, by J. Buckler, Bermondsey, Surrey.
A very fine etching and aquatint. Plate 478 x 649mm. 18¾ x 25½". Toning and staining. Small tears into the margins. Very large margins, uncut.
A gateway with a large bay window made up of smaller windows, between angular towers with little cupolas, with castellated walls extending to either side, a square tower on the right, the nave of a separate chapel at right angles to the wall and people in the court between them, including small boys playing and two women looking at a statue surrounded by iron railings. One of a series of engraved views, begun in 1800 with the encouragement of Martin Routh, President of Magdalene College, Oxford. The first was an engraving of Lincoln Cathedral; by 1814 the series included all the English cathedrals and many major collegiate and parish churches. From around 1810, John Buckler's son, John Chessell Buckler (1793-1894) assisted his father in producing a vast number of drawings; J C Buckler's son George (1811-1886) later became involved in the enterprise also and in 1822, J C Buckler published the 'Views of the Cathedral Churches of England and Wales', for which he wrote a text and in which he incorporated his father's engravings.
