Thomas Baxter was only employed at Chamberlains for two years, during which time he wrote to his friend and artist B R Hayden that he was engaged at the factory painting 'little things and the "littler and prettier", the dear little things and the dearer they are the better...'.
The scene of Oxford High Street is similar to the view painted by JMW Turner in 1810, now held in the Ashmolean Museum and features many recognisable landmarks including All Souls College, All Saints Church and St Mary's Church.
