Oxford in Watercolours by Hubert Pragnell
This book evokes one of the most interesting and beautiful cities in the world. Its richness and diversity are captured here in a series of skillful, atmospheric paintings. These include panoramas and detailed views, and as well as the university buildings themselves there are scenes of university life, the meadows and bustling streetscapes of the modern city. Each picture is accompanied by an authoritative text which identifies the buildings and gives details of their histories.Hubert Pragnell is a tutor for the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education and a member of Kellogg College.
