The Costume of the University of Oxford. London: Harrison and Leigh for R. Ackermann, 1815.
First separate issue of Uwins depictions of contemporary dress at Oxford, ranging from Vice Chancellor, Doctor, Master and Bachelor in several faculties, to Commoner. They appeared the previous year as part of plates of Ackermann’s great The University of Oxford (Abbey Scenery 278).

Agar after Uwins, coloured by a contemporary hand, watermarked 1812 (tiny hole in last leaf, faint spotting in a few text leaves and one plate, one plate loosening). Original boards with printed label priced £2.2s.0d. (mis-spelling the author's name 'Unwins'), flyleaf dated 1824 (a little stained and worn, minor loss and repairs at spine). Provenance: Arthur William English (armorial bookplate).
