Oxford's colleges and the people and places of the eastern Mediterranean make a striking pairing in these prints by John Fulleylove (1845–1908), the British watercolourist and illustrator of travel books. The early twentieth-century reproductions show Oxford from the High Street and Headington Hill, through its college buildings and the Botanic Garden, and across the meadows around Christ Church. His Syrian illustrations, made for books on travel in the Mediterranean and the Holy Land, include studies of local people as well as their buildings and landscapes, and he moves with ease between a broad prospect of a city, the arrangement of a college court and a closely observed figure.
