Enfilade

The Historians of British Art annually award prizes to outstanding books on the history of British art and visual culture in three categories: Pre-1800, Post-1800, and multi-authored volume. The committee welcomes nominations for its 2009 prize (for books published in 2008).  There is no limit on the number of books from a single publisher that may be considered in each category. For further information on how to nominate books, please contact the committee chair at the email address below. Winners will be announced before the annual meeting of the College Art Association in February, 2010.
