Description

Albumen print mounted on card. View of the interior of Tom Quad, Christ Church, looking towards Tom Tower (centre). The image is damaged by a severe pink liquid stain across part of it, and by black speckles. The card is roughly cut along two edges and broken along the bottom; it has probably been removed from a frame. The photograph belonged to Miss Hilda Monk, of Oxford, who was a friend of the donor.
