Description
Large carbon print mounted on card, removed at some time from a frame. The print shows the east portico of the Old Ashmolean Building, Oxford, before the various 20th-century renovations of the stonework. It shows the building at about the time the Museum of the History of Science was established there, in 1924. The print was formerly displayed in the Museum, but has since been removed from its frame.
The original photograph was taken by J. R. H. Weaver, Weaver was president of Trinity College, Oxford, 1938-54. His cameras were later given to the collection.
