What’s a window from a 1930s exhibition doing in an Oxford college library? 🪟🌍 Created for the 1938 Glasgow Empire Exhibition, this striking world map now sits in @regentsox.bsky.social Library. How (and why) it got there remains a mystery… 🔎 #OxfordHistory

A wooden reading nook with a small wooden desk is situated by a large, curved window. The window is adorned with frosted designs, including an image of the Earth and various explorer-themed motifs. The scene is warmly lit by natural sunlight streaming in.

Curved window with etched glass designs of maps, nautical themes, and a compass rose. Sunlight filters through, highlighting intricate details and ship illustrations.

Frosted glass window etched with a world map, showing continents, oceans, and notable landmarks such as the Atlantic Ocean and Greenland, illuminated by natural light.
