Open House and Pop-Up Exhibit: “Credit Line, Please: Photographs by Elizabeth Menzies”

May 23 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

May 23, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library

An exhibition featuring mid-century campus photography by local photographer, Elizabeth Menzies (1915-2003). Menzies contributed countless photographs of the Princeton campus to Princeton Alumni Weekly starting in 1936, and late into the 1960s. This exhibition of Menzies’ work, curated by Princeton University Library’s Phoebe Nobles, Emma Paradies, and Rosalba Varallo Recchia, celebrates the shrewd composition of her photographs, an eye for architecture both traditional and modern, a dry sense of juxtaposition, and an elegiac glance at sites of change.

Visit with the exhibited photographs at this open house. A special pop-up exhibition will also feature additional complementary archival materials chosen by the curators.
