Nathaniel Whittock (26 January 1791- ) was a noted Victorian engraver, well-known for his bird's-eye views, e.g. of York (1856), Oxford (1834), Melbourne, Australia (1854), Hull (1855), and London (1845, 1849, 1859).[1]

He was born to John and Sarah Whittock in the City of Westminster and was baptised on 6 March 1791 at St John the Evangelist, Smith Square.

Little is known about him until 1824-1829 when he appears as "Teacher of Drawing and Perspective, and Lithographist to the University of Oxford".

In 1830 and 1831 he was at 24 Garnault Place, South Fields, London and from 1848 to 1860 he worked at 34 Richard Street, Islington with his cousin henry Hyde.

He wrote many books. [1]
