Hugh Casson's - Oxford

An illustrated guide to the historic city of Oxford, by Sir Hugh Casson, well-known architect and watercolourist, who records in words and pictures his personal impressions of Oxford. Watercolour drawings of many of the finest colleges are accompanied by notes on their history and their particular attractions. Pen and ink sketches of details of architecture reveal some of the hidden beauties of the ancient buildings, while the soft pastel washes capture the unique qualities of the stone in the changing light. Sir Hugh Casson is the author of "Hugh Casson's Diary" and "Hugh Casson's London".
