Noted collector and bibliographer Alex Rabinovich donated a collection of hand-colored anti-German prints produced during the first world war. They were done in the style of the lubok, simple printed broadsides that appeared in Russia in the seventeenth century. The style continued through the early twentieth century. The original prints are available for viewing in Special Collections.
