E. 20, 68. Cards taped at spine, good condition. Axlibris of F. Seifert for J. Doliński. Anonymous poem about old and new fashions: "But, ieśli Polak rozumieć / Ze kto w krotkiey Sukni walk, / Ten iuż y radzić nieumie, / Y Oyczyźnie swey zaszkodzi. / When Kontusz is to be a sign / A firm covenant with Bach, / And the true Pole / Who gobbles honestly [...]. When intrigue, deceit, treachery, / From the Frac they will pass into the Kontusz, / When the stroy is to be for the Parade, / Nothing good comes from there [...]". Rare.
