Little is known about the author, Walley Chamberlain Oulton, except that he was the author of about twenty plays published between 1784 and 1817, and was a native of Dublin. In 1805 he wrote 'The Traveller's Guide, or English Itinerary.'
Copies of Picture of Margate have frequently been broken up for their plates, which are often found hand-coloured, but rather faded. The copy shown here has coloured plates retained in the bound book, so that the colours have remained original and vibrant
