Pugin's illustration captures the library's interior with an emphasis on its spatial arrangement, the elegance of its design, and the atmosphere of scholarly pursuit that defines the space. The engraving by J. Bluck complements Pugin's work by adding depth and texture, making the illustration not only a valuable document for architectural and academic historians but also a piece of art that appeals to a wider audience interested in the beauty and heritage of Oxford's academic institutions.
