Title:	Ex-Libris Varga Karoly (Castle of Sumeg)
Artist:	Fery, Antal (Szerencs, Hungary, 1908 - Budapest, 1993)
Date:	1976
Medium:	Original Woodcut
Source:	Ex-Libris Bookplates
Note:	Antal Fery 'Fery Antal' moved to Budapest at the age of nineteen and studied there at the School of Applied Arts for a period of three years. In 1935 he received his diploma as a graphic artist. Antal Fery's first woodcut was created in 1939 and his first one man exhibition was held at the Art Gallery of Budapest in 1943. During his career Fery created over 2000 bookplates, all in the woodcut medium.
	Antal Fery served as chairman of "The Circle of Friends of Small Graphic Arts". In 1992 the American Hungarian Museum, Passaic, New Jersey, honored the woodcut art of Antal Fery with an exhibition of his work. This original woodcut was created for Varga Karoly, a Hungarian ex libris bookplate collector. The landscape depicts a view of the fortress known as Sumeg Castle, one of Hungary's most well preserved palaces, originally build around the mid 13th century on Sumeg's Bald hill in the town of Sumeg. The Castle of Sumeg is located in the county of Veszprem north of lake Balaton. It is now considered an important tourist attraction in the area.
	Ex-Libris etchings, engravings and woodcuts date all the way back to the mid fifteenth century. Their function was initially quite utilitarian as miniature prints used to signify the ownership of books. As private libraries and their owners gained more wealth and prestige, however, so did their ex-libris bookplates. Pictorial imagery became as important as the wording and titles and the finished work of art came to stand as the owner's claim to posterity. Before long, famous artists were commissioned by prominent collectors to make their ex-libris art and during the centuries such masters as Durer, Holbein, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rockwell Kent all contributed significantly to this great form of art.
	The golden age for the ex-libris print, however, occurred during the twentieth century. Collecting ex-libris etchings and wood engravings reached such a peak during this time that many artists in Europe and America devoted themselves almost exclusively to this area. Such countries as Holland, Germany, France, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary formed strong and vibrant ex-libris societies and associations. In Hungary such fine artists as Antal Fery and Karoly Andrusko dedicated much of their oeuvre to the art of the ex-libris woodcut.
