Six business cards printed from a single matrix, separated by lines for cutting. Business cards with frames made of architectural elements—lintels, plinths, arches—and frames decorated with garlands of flowers and bay leaves. In the center of each is a space left for the owner's signature. Each business card is different. Graphic artist Antoni Marcinowski (Vilnius; printing house; 1817–1862); publishers Konstanty Tyszkiewicz (1806–1868) and Maria Celestyna Boczkowska (1840–1931) associated. Part of a series of graphic compositions depicting devotional images, portraits, views, plans, educational and genre engravings, and applied graphics, mostly by anonymous engravers from Vilnius monastery engraving workshops that produced plates and prints originating c. 1800–1830, Vilnius. Graphic print, album; height 17.3 cm, width 14 cm.
