Pictures from Oxford: Brief Historical and Descriptive Notes by Andrew Lang, M.A., sometime Fellow of Merton College, Oxford [1844 – 1912]; sixth edition, Seely & Co. Ltd., London, 1896.
There are some more pictures of Oxford done by Haslehust, in colour.
I am working on a transcription of this book. I found one online at worldwideschool.org but it lacks the images, and has many errors.
