Book
The Radcliffe Camera is one of the most celebrated buildings in Britain. Named for the physician John Radcliffe, who directed a large part of his fortune to its realization at the heart of the University of Oxford in the early eighteenth century, the circular library is instantly recognizable, its great dome rising amidst the gothic spires of the university. Drawing on maps, plans, photographs, and drawings, 'Dr Radcliffe's Library' tells the fascinating story of the building's creation over more than thirty years.
