ENIn the period of Romanticism, autograph books (Latin album amicorum, German das Stammbuch) became a generally accepted custom and a necessary attribute of friendship. The autograph book of the well-known 19th century archaeologist, historian and founder of the Vilnius Museum of Antiquities, Count Eustachy Tyszkiewicz, is a valuable document of history and culture. It captures a small part of the Romanticist cultural and social landscape of Vilnius. The book contains autographs and poems of the famous 19th century personalities, scientists and scholars, literary and cultural figures Mikolaj Malinowski (1799-1865), Ignacy Chodžko (1794-1861), Antoni Edward Odyniec (1804-1885), Wladyskw Syrokomla (real name Ludwik Kondratowicz, 1823-1862), Tomasz Zan (1796-1855), Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski (1812-1887), Lucjan Siemieiiski (1807-1877) and others. The poetics of Count Tyszkiewicz's autograph book, like that of many other Romanticist works of this genre, was shaped by the sentimental standards of the Romanticist salon culture: the book was a form of expressing personal relations, promises of friendship and fraternity, and memories that had to be passed on for future generations.The inscriptions of the book, dating from 1844 to 1857, are mainly of occasional panegyrical character, but alongside, each of them is individual and reflects the personality of its author. We could consider this little oblong leather-bound book, whose cover is framed with gilded borders, an exhibit for a history museum, as material exhibits are an excellent reflection of the spirit of historical periods. However, the autograph book also conveys the spirit of the epoch in another, immaterial and poetic, form. Poetic expressions of personal moments as if testify to the faith in the eternity of memory and immortality. [From the publication]
