Cambridge's old university is wonderfully portrayed in this little book of outstanding art. Bikes, punts, the grand Fitzwilliam Museum and the iconic market place all find their way into the pages.
The Cambridge Art Book contains a unique collection of contemporary images of this most beautiful city, from the grand architecture of its historic university to its more intimate corners. Alongside the drama of its fine buildings, the tranquillity of its green spaces, the city's artists uncover the quirks that make it an unending delight.
