A note on the back records that this was painted on the spot in 1872, during Fisher's period as Keeper of the University Galleries. It shows Oxford from almost the same vantage point J. M. W. Turner had chosen for his watercolour of Oxford from North Hinksey (Manchester City Art Gallery), with the conduit house in the foreground. Unlike Turner, Fisher has included the railway line complete with train and a chimney associated with the Clarendon Press in Jericho.
