The great University City of Oxford is a beautiful European city. Its many colleges form a skyline of domes, towers and spires. At its centre is the octagonal library known as The Radcliffe or Oxford Camera. Although started by the architect Hawksmoor (who worked with Vanbrugh on many projects such as the Temple of Four Winds) it was primarily designed by Gibbs.
The model carries the copperplate description on its base "The Upright of the Radcliffe Library Building by James Gibbs 1757 as it is seen on all sides." Copies of the original plans were used to make this model.
