Congratulations to Prof. André Dombrowski and class participants: Lindsay Grant, Gloria Huangpu, Glynnis Stevenson and Hilary Whitham, as well as the Kislak Center and the Penn Libraries.

The Division Two (moderately expensive) winner is the University of Pennsylvania Libraries Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts for “The Images Affair: Dreyfus in the Media, 1894-1906.”

“This catalog takes an innovative approach to an historical event by examining it through the visual culture that surrounded it,” remarked Faulds. “The committee acknowledged the very high quality of scholarly production including apparatus such as a chronology and a selected bibliography. The catalog has high production values with the detailed bibliographic entries being divided into compelling categories. It also displays subtle but beautiful and unifying graphic design elements. Finally, the committee felt it significant that such an excellent catalog was the result of a student-curated exhibition.”
