Main Prize, Polish Association of Book Publishers XXXVIII Competition
for Most Beautiful Books of the Year, April 1998. This album contains
color reproductions of enchantingly beautiful works of the glassmarker's
art from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, preceded
by an introductory essay by Professor Irena Huml. The items presented
in the album are from the Jelenia Góra Regional Museum, which
has one of the most valuable collections in Poland - and in Europe.
"A high lovel of publishing, that is, excellent quality
reproductions, the right paper, and above all a transparent layout.
It is rare for elegance to be joined, as in this instance, to
wit and good taste."
Artur Tanikowski, Art & Business, 9/98
