Capturing a striking exterior view of Balliol College at Oxford University, this original black-and-white photograph dates to 1945, offering a wartime-era glimpse of the historic stone buildings. Likely taken by a visitor or student, the image shows detailed Gothic-style architecture under strong natural light. “Balliol – 1945” is handwritten at the bottom, lending it authenticity and historic appeal. A fine addition to any collection focused on British academic institutions or mid-20th-century photography.
