American College Towns: Oxford, Mississippi
2014 By Michael Korfhage, Joel Anderson
About the Art
In 1837, the town of Oxford, Mississippi was founded and named after the British Oxford University,
all in the hopes that the town would attract a state university of its own. Eleven years later, that wish
was granted with the founding of the University of Mississippi in 1848. Nicknamed “Ole Miss,” the
university has been a focal point of higher education for not just the state of Mississippi, but for the
entire region too. Anderson Design Group created their own rendition of Oxford, an illustration that
takes its inspiration from the WPA-commissioned artwork of the early-1900s. Show your city or
university pride with a customizable framed art print, canvas banner, metal sign, or framed postcard.
To learn more about the city, check out the Visit Oxford Mississippi website.
Our gorgeous art canvases are made-to-order on high-fidelity printers and stretched onto wood frames with hanging brackets installed. Each work of art features an original illustration by the talented, award-winning artists of Anderson Design Group.
