Martin Parr, one of Britain's best-known contemporary
photographers, and President of Magnum, the world-famous
photographic agency has undertaken a photo-documentary book
project. Oxford is a collection of around 100 photographs
documenting an academic year in the life of the university. They
capture the day-to-day life of the colleges and University at work
and play, and the colourful and arcane rituals that make it so
distinctive. His photographs are accompanied by an extended
afterword that draws on, and enriches, the photographic material
and penned by Simon Winchester, OBE, the British writer, journalist
and broadcaster. The very first photo-documentary of Oxford was
created by William Henry Fox Talbot. A century and a half later,
Martin Parr's new project pays tribute to the great the pioneer of
photography, and coincides with the Bodleian Library's bid to
secure his personal archive.
