[POTOCKI Tomasz Konstanty]. Ex libris Thomae Comitis Potocki.
Zincographic print on an arc. 9.3x7.2 cm. Pilawa coat of arms, below on ribbon motto "Scutum opponebat scutis" (Polish: "Shield against shield"). K. Podniesinska writes about Tomasz Potocki's ex-librises: "In 1914, through the Polish Society of Graphic Arts, he announced a competition for his ex-libris. Two bookplates were to be created, "one for old books in the type of ex-librises of the past, with the Pilawa coat of arms as the main subject of the composition, and the other, for modern books, of an arbitrary character, including the Pilawa coat of arms in the background." The competition, which was very popular and for which 32 works were submitted in noble graphic techniques (20 lithographs, 5 woodcuts, 7 copperplates and etchings), was decided on June 3, 1914. Two equal prizes were awarded - to Adam Półtawski and Władysław Skoczylas [...]. Potocki's memory was commemorated with two commemorative ex-librises. One was made by Rudolf Mękicki in 1918 in cyncotype, the other by Jozef Tom in 1941, while in the ghetto, in linocut" ("Ex-librises of Polish libraries and foreign book collections made by Polish artists in the collection of the Graphics and Drawing Cabinet of the National Museum in Cracow", p. 273). Here we present probably the first of two commemorative ex-librises, unsigned.
T. Potocki (1886-1914) - came from the Krystynopolsko-Tulczyńsko-Pyniech line, was the owner of numerous estates in the Novogrodek and Pińczów districts.
