A colourful showcase of one of the most beautiful cities in the
world. Inspired by Oxford’s unique architecture and historic
university, over 50 artists have produced a unique collection of
contemporary images illustrating all aspects of the city and
surrounding area. Oxford is both a thriving city and a byword for
one of the world’s best universities. Its ancient buildings are
the wonder of the world, still used and inhabited by an energetic
and passionate student community. From tightly-packed Cornmarket
street catering for the shoppers of the busy city to Oxford’s
lush riverside walks that provide an asylum from the bustle of
everyday life, to traditional St Giles’s Fair and May Day that
attract visitors from across Oxfordshire and beyond, this book
represents them all, including: - Quirky hidden gems such as The
Eagle and Child (the pub frequented by J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S.
Lewis) and the many cafes of the Covered Market - Innovative
representations of classic tourist sites: the Bodleian Library, the
Radcliffe Camera, the Sheldonian Theatre, Christ Church College,
Magdalen College and many more... - The Mini Car Plant and Cowley
Road transformed into artworks There is so much to wonder at in
this lovely book. Its enthusiasm reveals a passion for both
contemporary art and the lovely city of Oxford. It will renew
memories and inspire visits and revisits to all its haunts.
