editions of his Les marques de collections de dessins et d’estampes. Supplément,2 which did not take
into account seals; Dr Peter Fuhring served as the Dutch side’s coordinator. Taking part in this
project were the staff of the Department of Prints and Drawings. The instigators of the project
ranked the substance of their contributions, not to mention the nature and progress of their
cooperation, highly. Expressing their appreciation was Rhea Sylvia Blok as she summarized
the progress and outcomes of their work at an international conference of the International
Council for Curators of Dutch and Flemish Art (CODART ELF, Ghent, 9-11 March 2008). Over
the years, Agnieszka Chmielewska, Piotr Czyż, Marcin Romeyko-Hurko, Piotr Borusowski
and Piotr Kibort of the Department of Prints and Drawings took part in this project.
Most of the donated books are scholarly, but some are popular. Two fields are most richly
represented, the art and culture of the Netherlands and graphic art and painting, a reflection
of the foundation’s collection and interests. The donors also included Fondation Custodia
publications that had been missing from the Library of the National Museum in Warsaw.
Now, the library has an almost full set.
Describing the donation, Małgorzata Polakowska, director of the Library of the National
Museum in Warsaw, asserts that not only was it one of the largest gifts in the history of the
institution, but that it has also augmented the collection with valuable items until now absent
from its specialized scholarly library. This library is used by both researchers and students,
and all those interested in art and the many facets of research conducted internationally.
Furthermore, numerous publications in the donation had until now been unavailable not only
in the National Museum, but in any other library in Poland. From now on, this magnificent
gift from Paris will serve Poland’s whole scholarly community.
