Miksa Róth, the well-known and master of stained glass windows and “opalescent glass mosaic” designed his own advertisement card. The inscription is surrounded by stylized motifs, imitating a stained glass window. At the top, in the middle, the three coats of arms-traditional emblem of fine arts-are mere decorative element. (Before this one example, Miksa Róth used a “historicizing”, crowded picture as an advertisement card.)
