A punt drifts lazily beneath the stone arches of Folly Bridge, as Oxford’s riverside comes alive with sun-dappled movement and chatter. The bustling terrace of the Head of the River pub is filled with students and tourists alike, reflecting a cherished moment of leisure beside the Isis.

Published by Thomas Photos, Oxford, this unused postcard is numbered 298 and captures an iconic social scene likely from the late 20th century. The print evokes the golden hues of warm afternoons, with the historic bridge at left and the classic Thames-side architecture at right. In the foreground, the water shimmers — grounding the image in Oxford’s age-old rhythm of boats, bridges, and books.

To own this card is to hold a piece of timeless Oxford life, where architectural heritage meets youthful energy along the city’s riverbanks. It is ideal for collectors of British university towns, vintage travel imagery, or nostalgic river scenes.
