Abstract:
On the 8th of November, 1908 T. Wróblewski, an activist of culture and comunity of Vilnius
district, celebrated his 50th anniversary. The golden anniversary of the bibliofile was commemorated
by the first contest of ex-librises in Lithuania. The names of the participants of the contest were
unknown. Some of the works were marked by pseudonims. Adam Jerzy Półtawski (1881, Warsaw -
1952, Cracow) won the contest. This prominent person, honoured for his Polish press and culture
activities, was an excellent master of graphics, a creator of Polish founts and an illustrator
of books. Now one can often come across A. Półtawski ex-librises in the books which belonged
to T. Wróblewski.
