[CATALOGUE]. Catalog of Tyszkiewicz's Oficyna covering prints 1 through 50, published in Florence in 1954.
Stamperia Pol. 3/29. Margins stained, otherwise good condition. Two-color printing on 6 pp. (folded) form. 16x16.5 cm. On the first page, the title: "The history of the Tyszkiewicz Family Office, built on a chronological catalog. The first works of the Oficyna, typesetting, graphic design and text processing date from autumn 1926", next to it a woodcut by Vittoria Tyszkiewicz depicting the interior of the printing house. The remaining 5 pages contain a catalog of the Tyszkiewicz publications, arranged chronologically and numbered from 1 to 50. Between the descriptions of the books, information about major events in the Oficyna's history appears (e.g.: Grand Prix at the 1937 Arts & Techniques Exhibition in Paris, Establishment of contact with the intact parent Oficyna in Florence, Final liquidation of the Nice branch, import of material and all publications). The catalog represents one of Tyszkiewicz's last two completed printings (the other is a folder advertising "Psalms" on the American market - which was the last is impossible to determine). A few months after the publication of these prints, Tyszkiewicz died.
