I found this mural inside Blackwell's Book Store in Oxford back in August when I was there. It was so well done I couldn't resit some photos even though it was in a difficult spot. It was on a wall next to a staircase leading down to the lower level.
The mural depicts historic scenes from Oxford's past. It was created by Edward Bawden in 1979 and still looks like new. Bawden was known for his book covers, posters and prints of historic places. This was his last major work. He passed away in 1989.

This is lovely.
Absolutely splendid!
It looks wonderful, Sharon.
Oxford holds many treasures, this is a nice newer one.
So, so beautiful! Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Sharon.
What a beauty!
Good captures, considering the location! I'm sure Bawden would be happy to know his work survived for so many years.
