Summary/Abstract: The article presents a small collection of bibliophile prints issued by the Samuel Fryderyk Tyszkiewicz printing house in Nice, stored in the Ossolineum in Wrocław. The collection — dedicated to “poets-wanderers” — has been published during the Second World War and shortly after its end. Despite difficult working conditions, the typographer artist created a unique editorial standard, characterized by a high level of craftsmanship. All of Tyszkiewicz’s prints are limited issue and numbered manually.
