Description
"Oxford is one of the oldest and most famous universities of the west. Since its foundation in the second half of the twelfth century, its visual character has gradually crystallised in an architectures of great beauty, picturesque and variety : of that aspect of Oxford, many accounts already exist. This book is concerned with treasures of the other visual arts -- painting and sculpture, and the so-called applied arts -- with which benefactors have endowed Oxford over the centuries"--[Page 7].
