Who is author of this calligraphy? It is probably woodblock print of Rongbaozhai from year 1953. The measurements are 32 x 24 cm

Can't tell from your photo, which is posted upside down. The text reads "dream journey", which was a reasonably common subject of paintings; this could be a frontispiece to an album or a handscroll. The seals are likely collectors' seals but may include the name of the writer. However the resolution of your photo is too low to read them. Why do you think this is a Rongbaozhai print?

Thanks for your response. Meanwhile I have established who is author of this calligraphy. it is Shen Zhou. I find this card in portfolio with woodblock prints and I thought that it belongs not to this prints but I was wrong(:

Can you post an image of the label attributing it to Shen Zhou? If as seems possible from the dimensions this is the frontispiece for a Shen Zhou handscroll, it's probable that a later collector or some other prominent calligrapher to whom the painting was shown wrote it and had it mounted it separately in front of the painting. Here is a link to the kind of thing I mean: it's a handscroll supposed to be by Shen Zhou with a frontispiece and also colophons written by others:
