| Sumario: | When considering the personality and work of Gracjan Achrem-Achremowicz, a citizen of Vilnius, one must keep in mind the richness of his interests and talents: he was a painter, a printmaker, a bibliophile, a collector of antique prints, a publisher, an educator, a poet and a translator, and he knew several languages, including Hebrew and English. His passions and activities, though versatile, were most strongly associated with artistic (workshop) print-making, the graphic design of books, and with the printed word. In my paper, I aim to define the achievements of this artist as those of one of the few students of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Vilnius who was committed to graphics at a time when teaching this discipline was not a priority (before 1930), and at the same time as an artist who had the opportunity of studying abroad.
