Antique engraving depicting two views of Exeter College, Oxford, with founders and benefactors. Engraved by J. Skelton from the original by G. Vertue, likely from the Oxford Almanac series, Plate 42. Page measures 8.25 × 11 in.

Lower view presents the college facade with portraits of founders and benefactors in period dress, including decorative cartouche and allegorical figures.
