"Proctor, engraved by J. Agar, published in R. Ackermann's History of Oxford, 1814 by Thomas Uwins, is a notable example of early 19th-century British printmaking and illustration. This work is part of a larger collection that was included in Rudolph Ackermann's comprehensive and richly illustrated publication, 'A History of the University of Oxford, its Colleges, Halls, and Public Buildings,' which aimed to document and celebrate the architectural and academic heritage of one of the world's most prestigious universities.

Thomas Uwins, an accomplished artist and illustrator, contributed significantly to the visual documentation of Oxford's academic life through his detailed and evocative drawings. The engraving by J. Agar, a skilled engraver of the period, translates Uwins' original artwork into a finely detailed print, capturing the essence of the subject with precision and artistry. The 'Proctor' engraving specifically depicts a university official, known as a proctor, who played a crucial role in maintaining discipline and overseeing the conduct of students within the university.

Ackermann's publication, released in 1814, was a landmark in the history of illustrated books, combining scholarly text with high-quality engravings to provide a vivid portrayal of Oxford's storied institutions. The collaboration between Uwins and Agar exemplifies the synergy between artists and engravers in the production of illustrated books during this period. Their work not only served as a visual record but also as a means of bringing the grandeur and tradition of Oxford to a wider audience.

The 'Proctor' engraving, along with others in the series, remains a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the academic culture and architectural splendor of early 19th-century Oxford. It stands as a testament to the artistic and technical skills of its creators and continues to be appreciated by historians, art enthusiasts, and collectors alike."
