A History of the University of Oxford
Finely hand-coloured aquatint plates by Rudolph Ackermann of the University of Oxford (1814) that capture the grandeur of its colleges, chapels, and libraries, alongside vivid scenes of academic life and ceremonial traditions. Illustrated by artists such as Pugin, Westall, and Mackenzie, these prints offer a richly detailed and atmospheric portrait of the university’s architecture and customs in the early 19th century, making them highly prized by collectors and admirers of Oxford’s historic legacy.
