Portretinės marginalijos XVIII ir XIX amžių Lietuvos bajorų korespondencijoje

LTTiriant XVIII ir XIX a. bajorų korespondenciją kartais pasitaiko ypatingų radinių – marginalijų, vaizduojančių žmones bei kitus objektus. Tokių radinių žinoma labai nedaug, portretines marginalijas skiria keletas dešimtmečių, tačiau jos suteikia naudingos informacijos apie to meto visuomenės buitį, madas, laiško reikšmę, rašiusiųjų asmenybes. Kiekvienas tokio pobūdžio piešinys yra unikalus, jo reikšmei nustatyti būtina atlikti atskirą tyrimą.

ENArticle deals with the marginalia portraits in Lithuanian nobility correspondence. Four of them were from the eighteenth century. They are found in Sapieha family correspondence, the other two from the letters of Mikołaj Niwiński and B. Adamowicz, the nobility of the nineteenth century. It also provides examples of other drawings in letters and marginalia portraits found not in correspondence. Marginalia portraits in letters of Lithuanian nobility in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were extremely rare. Drawings were often not binding to the text of the letter, perhaps it was accidental, and the authors simply exercised the arm. It can be seen that here and there they are done casually, trying to copy something, also very draft. Most cases ordinary people are imaged, they are likely layman nobility, but to say something about that time fashion and hairstyles is complicated. True, different is the portrait of monastery abates discovered in the Sapieha correspondence of the eighteenth century. In the correspondence of Sapieha family we can find marginalia mostly in the letters of Mykolas Xavier Sapieha, the elder of town Anykščiai – though very crude drawings. Maybe it was his children drawings. The portraits in the letters of nineteenth century are very different from the eighteenth century portraits – a youthful sense of humor is felt, they have features of the cartoons. It can be said, they are performed quite skillfully. [From the publication]
