Oxford

This book contains paintings from the original book, each of which has been rescanned and enlarged, presenting them as they have not been seen for a hundred years.

Opposite each painting is a page containing full-colour images relating to the painting, from period maps and postcards to paintings and railway tickets, together with a text placing the painting in its contemporary context.

The new introduction sets the historical scene for the bustling university and market city that was Oxford a hundred years ago.

The introduction is written by Tim Healey, a well-known author, columnist and expert on Oxford history.

The main text is by Su Box, Oxford author and editor.
