  100 Views of Oxford: The Charm of Oxford Beautifully Portrayed in Sepia Photogravure
Oxford, Alfred Savage. Original Wraps. The title says it all - there is no text other than the labels on these delightful period photographs of Oxford colleges. Undated, but appears to be some time between 1918 and 1930. No bicyles, cars or students are visible on most photographs (so no clues as to the date, except for a panoramic view of racing shells on the river in "Eights Week" with ladies in long dresses, some with parasols, and a view of the High St with cars looking c. 1930 or so) Original decorative wraps with border and coats of arms on front cover. Very Good, slight soiling on edges, small tear at head of spine, original staples a little rusty (but no damage to paper as yet) 32p. Very Good.
