The fascinating history of the University of Oxford dates back to its founding in the 12th century, and for students like WR Verney who attended this esteemed institution during the 19th century, photographs hold a special place. These original images, printed from 1865, offer a unique glimpse into the lives of these young scholars.

A treasure trove of memories has been discovered in an old scrapbook belonging to the Honourable WR Verney, a notable Oxfordian who held many influential positions throughout his life. The photographs within this collection are authentic and meticulously preserved, with five on one side and five on the other, forming a harmonious pair as they were originally printed.

Each image measures approximately 9cm x 5.5cm, showcasing the exceptional print quality that has been achieved over time. A closer look reveals signs of age, such as soiling and marks consistent with their historical context. The photographs are arranged in an original layout, providing a tangible link to the past.
