A New Vignette of the "Przegląd Podkarpacia"

Summary/Abstract: Schulz’s occasional graphic designs which made the margin of his art included alsoa vignette of the Przegląd Podkarpacia, drawn in 1937 and used for the first time inthe periodical’s 70th number, dated October 17. Before that the vignette had been composed of accidentally chosen type letters available at the printer’s. Schulz preferreda modern type but he did not use the printer’s resources. His vignette was an ink drawing, which guaranteed him maximum liberty. The artist combined a picture of an oil well and a refinery with a letter logo. The first letter “P” was of a double size sothat it belonged to both title words placed one under the other. The letters was close enough in style to art deco, yet the whole vignette did not follow any particular schema.The last number of the "Przegląd Podkarpacia" with Schulz’s vignette was published on July 23, 1939.
