Thanks Indiana University Press for the great cover that conveys the layered materiality of these albums! It is starting to feel very real! #PortriatsofEmpires is coming, 2023!



Antonia Anstatt impressed the judges with an essay entitled: 'Empress and Virgin: Female Sainthood in the Early Thirteenth Century'. Carmel equally impressed with an essay on 'Jewish Innovations to Conceptions of ‘German Belonging’: The Case of Munich Jewish Businesses'. [2/3]

Congratulations also to our joint runners up - the competition was stiff, and Frederick G Crofts and Ingrid Schreiber were also hugely commended for their essays by our judges. Well done to all of our winners this year, and we already can't wait for our 2023 entries! 👏👏 [3/3]
