Saba Maheen ’20 designed the winning entry for Dartmouth’s 250th anniversary bookplate competition for the celebratory publication Dartmouth Undying. Maheen received a $250 prize from the Sphinx Foundation, the competition’s sponsor.

She designed the commemorative bookplate using hand-set type, ornaments, and engravings available in the Book Arts Workshop’s letterpress studio. Sarah Smith, Books Arts Workshop Program Manager, hand-printed 500 bookplates on an 1880s Golding Pearl platen press to accompany the slipcased edition of Dartmouth Undying.
