The ex libris volume of Lajos Kozma was published in the periodical A Ház in 1909. This volume was an essentially artistic work, made in the principle of Gesamtkunstwerk. The collectors received numbered copies bound in parchment, decorated with a signed drawing of the artist on the cover plate. The ex libris of Dona Kozma was also included in the volume, suggesting melancholy emotions with the motif of the weeping willow. The strong, decorative, linear structure of the piece resembles the woodcarvings of headboards.
