Zusammenfassung:The article is an attempt at systemizing and interpreting trompe l'il motifs and devices – from single objects shown as if resting on a page, through those altering the appearance of the page, such as folded page corners, up to still lifes – that constitute elements of book-of-friendship entries in one particular collection. Examples are used to show their relations with the entry text: illusionistic elements could illustrate, but also extend or complement it. It was particularly the quodlibet-type compositions that could allude to the book’s owner and the shared memories, forming as if a visual counterpart of ‘memorabilia’. The researched motifs do not always comply with all the criteria of trompe l’il; they do, however, aspire to being illusionistic, additionally fulfilling well the tasks that are associated with books of friendship.
