Z cyklu: Znani kolekcjonerzy krakowscy — rozmowa z Ryszardem Kucharskim
type: item
description: AN INTERVIEW WITH RYSZARD KUCHARSKI Ryszard Kucharski was born on October 5, 1934 in Cracow. He began school during the Second World War at Primary School no. 11 in Miodowa Street. After the war he completed courses at the High School of Economics. His material situation forced him to abandon further studies and take a job. He tried many occupations. His longest employment was with the State Automotive Transport, in a variety of positions. He took early retirement in 1982. In 1977 he was a co-founder of the Cracow Collectors’ Club, and since then he has continued to be President of the Club. In 1981 he was one of initators of the Federation of Collecting Organizations in Poland and an organizer of their First Convention in Cracow, June 18-21 of that year. At the Convention he was elected President of the Polish Federation of Collectors’ Organizations; he is now serving another term (1992-1955) in that office. R.

Przewodniki po Krakowie i jego okolicach. Od najstarszych do 1945 r. Charakterystyka, bibliografia

description: GUIDES TO CRACOW AND ENVIRONS, FROM THE OLDEST UP TO 1945. CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES, LITERATURE Cracow, a treasury of a thousand year history of the Polish nation, centre of culture, science and art, and an important industrial centre has always attracted tourists from all over Poland. The oldest detailed guide-type descriptions of the city date from the 17th century. They were for pilgrims, who visited Cracow, where many sacred places and relics of saints were housed. The purpose of such visits was religious, involving indulgence of sins. The first guide to Cracow was published in 1603. It was called by Jakub Siebenyher the Przewodnik abo Kościołow Krakowskich y rzeczy w nich widzenia godnych krótkie opisanie (A Guide or a Short Description of Cracow Churches and Things Worthy of Notice in Them). Based on descriptions contained in this Guide, the second guide entitled Stołecznego miasta Krakowa Kościoły y kleynoty (Churches and Treasures of the Capital City of Cracow), was written. It had three editions; the first edition was in 1647, the second in 1650. A copy of the third edition of the Treasures, from 1745, is in the collection of the Cracow Historical Museum. After 1815, Cracow became also a sightseeing place, in addition to religious pilgrims’ journeys. Cracow’s historical monuments were a theme of many literary pieces published at various periodicals, and of many paintings. A treshold date in promoting Cracow’s history and culture was 1822. It is the date of the first edition of Ambroży Grabowski’s guide, entitled Historyczny opis miasta Krakowa i jego okolic (An Outline History of Cracow and Environs). This publication promoted the town’s history in a very modern way, characteristic of that kind of publications, and rised patriotic spirit. The guide was republished successively in 1830, 1836, 1844, 1866, 1900 and 1905. From the second edition its title was Kraków i jego okolice (Cracow and Environs). At the turn of the 19th century a great role in promoting C…

Historia Poczty w Krakowie 1846-1918
type: item
description: HISTORY OF THE POSTAL SERVICES IN CRACOW The post as a symbol of communication has been with the humanity for many centuries already. As it enabled contact and helped circulate information, it contributed much to the development of civilization. Cracow has the most eventful history of the post of among all the cities in Poland. In 1846 Austria abolished the Free City of Cracow. After annexation, the occupying authorities set to adapting the postal system in Cracow to the Austrian system. A year later the first train left Cracow, which began the era of railway transport. The Cracow postal services faced the problem of reorganizing and adjusting the postal dispatch system to the requirements of rail transport. Cracow was the first city in the Austrian Empire to which a postal lorry was directed from Vienna, therefore numbered 1. In 1850 postal stamps appeared here for the first time. The development of Cracow required the opening of new post offices in the city and neighbouring communities and suburban settlements, which where then successively incorporated into the city proper. The main goal of this study is to give the most exhaustive information possible about those post offices. In 1918 Cracow was one of the first cities worldwide to have regular airmail connection with other places. The activity of the Cracow Post during the First World War is especially well documented thanks to its involment in services to Polish military units fighting for independence; first to the Riflemen and later to the Polish Legions. The variety of forms of these activities enriches our knowledge of military events at that time, and justifies the thesis that the history of the Post is determined by the history of our city.

Żydowskie szkolnictwo podstawowe, średnie i zawodowe w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Krakowa
type: item
description: JEWISH PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS DURING THE SECOND REPUBLIC OF POLAND, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO CRACOW The aim of this article is to acquiant the reader with the Jewish school system of 1918-1939. Used in this article were mainly archival materials in the the Archives of the Polish Academy of Science in Cracow, Official Journals of the Ministry of Religions and Public Enlightment, school statistics of the Central Statistics Office, Cracow school reports and articles published in Alamanach Szkolnictwa Żydowskiego w Polsce (Almanach of Jewish Schools in Poland), the Nowy Dziennik (New Journal), the Głos Gminy Żydowskiej (Voice of the Jewish Congragation), the Sprawy Narodowościowe (Nationality Matters), the Biuletyn ZIH (Bulletin of the Jewish Historical Institute) and the Miesięcznik Żydowski (the Jewish Monthly). For clarity, the collected material has been divided into three sections: — first, a brief characterization of the Jews who lived in Poland; — second, the whole of the Jewish school system, divided into traditional schools, elementary lay schools, and secondary and vocational schools; — third section is devoted to Jewish schools in Cracow divided into public elementary schools, private elementary schools without public rights, and high and vocational schools. I. Reborn Poland was a multinational state in which one third of the population were national minorities. The Jews were one of the most populous groups, second largest among the national minorities. During the period of the Partitions of Poland between three occupying nations, they were subject to various political and administrative influences, which were clearly reflected in the language they used in everyday life (Russian, German, Polish), but the common „Jewish language” was Yiddish with local loan-words. As a consequence, the multitude of languages was sure to cause disputes, and with time to sharp struggle for the national language. Another problem was that the Jews were disperse…

Mikołaj Sarmat-Szyszłowski (1883-1915), artysta malarz i żołnierz Legionów Polskich. Zarys biografii
type: item
description: MIKOŁAJ SARMAT-SZYSZŁOWSKI (1883-1915), PAINTER AND SOLDIER OF THE POLISH LEGIONS. A BIOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE In the collection of the historical Museum of the City of Cracow there are two exhibits connected with the painter and graphic artist Mikołaj Sarmat Szyszłowski, who fell during a campaign of the Polish Legions. One exhibit is a drawing by this artist The Post on the Nida River from March, 1915; the other is a portrait of Szyszłowski by Kazimierz Witkiewicz at the beginning of 1916. All the output of that artist, known to this days consists of seven works. Beside the drawing at the Historical Museum of the City of Cracow, there are two works kept in the National Museum in Cracow; there are also two Easter cards after Szyszłowski design printed by the artist himself at the front in March, 1915. They are in the Jagiellonian Library. Mikołaj Szyszłowski was born in Kroszyn near Grodno on October 20, 1883. He began his higher education in Vilna and Warsaw, studying thanks to financial support from the Radziwiłłs of Nieśwież. In 1902 he fleed from the Kingdom to Galicia, where, after one year at the Royal Imperial State Technical School, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, in the atelier of Józef Mehoffer. The drawings in the collection of the National Museum in Cracow date from the period of his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, 1903-1906. They represent views of demolished Cracow city towers and the Grodzka gate. They are copies of the woodcuts by Koenig that illustrate the book The Guardian of Our Archaelogy by Ambroży Grabowski. The woodctus were based on Jerzy Głogowski’s watercolours from 1802-1809, when the artist participated in the conservation work of gates and towers of Cracow’s fortifications. Szyszłowski started his political activity early. During the revolution in the Polish Kingdom he organized shooting exercises for a group of artists in Rybniszki in the Ukraine. Suspected of participating in a terrorist organization, he was forced to leave G…

Tadeusz Sulima-Popiel — życie i twórczość. Motyw sybirski w malarstwie arty
type: item
description: TADEUSZ SULIMA-POPIEL, CRACOW PAINTER. THE SIBERIAN THEME IN THE WORKS OF THIS ARTIST Tadeusz Sulima-Popiel was born in Szczucin in Tarnów county, in 1863, the son of Antoni, clerk in the Royal Imperial Central Office, and Antonina, whose maiden name was Stanicek. Having completed high school in Brody, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in 1876. He was an extremely conscientious and talented student. He enjoyed much sympathy and support from the school director, Jan Matejko, the most popular Polish painter in the second half of the 19th century and creator of the Polish school of historical painting. After graduation from the Cracow sschool, Popiel set off to Vienna and then to Munich for further studies (1885-1888). In Vienna he studied under the direction of Hans Makart, and in Munich under Karl Piloty and Aleksander Wagner. When he came back to Poland, he devoted himself intently to creative work. As he was very hardworking and talented, he soon gained popularity and was recognized among critics in Poland and abroad. Among the greatest achievements of the young artist at that time was a bronze medal at the Paris Salon in 1890 for the painting Moses Returning from Mount Sinai, and the gold medal at the World Exhibition in San Francisco, 1892; and then, in the same year, gold medals in Chicago and Philadelphia, for his painting After the Tempest. Popiel was also highly regarded by the critics for landscapes he painted on the most famous, collectively made, Polish panoramic paintings form the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, such as Racławice (1893-1894), Captive Women (1894), Bem at Siedmiogrod (1896), The Calvary (1896) and, in 1910 The Battle of Grunwald. He was renowned as an oustanding landscape painter, and his illusion-creating landscapes were considered the best parts of the panorams. In 1897 the artist won the contest for wall painting in the St. Stanisław’s Chapel in St. Anthony’s Church in Padova. It was comple…

Z dziejów Galerii Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie
type: item
description: FROM THE HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS GALLERY IN CRACOW, ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF ITS CLOSING The history of the Academy of Fine Art Gallery in Cracow, called the museum from 1985, begins with the beginnings of this, Poland’s oldest arts university, in 1818, as in that year the School of Painting and Drawing was created within the Department of Philosophy and Letters of the Cracow Academy. Both chairs, painting and drawing, were occupied by the creators of the design and organizational structure of the school, painters Józef Brodowski and Józef Peszka. Right away, plaster casts began to be collected, gradually enriched by donations and purchases, to form an interesting collection. As the school became independent and detached from the University, and with changes in the curriculum, paintings also were gathered. The history of the Gallery at the Academy of Fine Arts not only illustrates the development of the school, its trends or artistic styles, but also is perfect proof of changes in teaching methods. Unfortunately, it has proven as well that the school rectors of directors did not care enough for the heritage of generations. They did not succed in making the gallery at the Academy a museum to rank with Vienna, to make the dreams of the Academy’s founder a reality. Up to the present time the collection has remained without proper academic supervision, in a place not adapted to function asa museum storage, while a decision of the Rector’s Council of the Academy of Fine Arts has halted all activities of this institution.

100 lat Parku Jordana
type: item
description: CENTENARY OF JORDAN PARK 1989 was the centenary of the oldest in Poland (and one of the oldest in the world) parks for children and youth, Jordan Park in Cracow, established by Dr. Henryk Jordan (1842-1907), a Cracow doctor, professor at the Jagiellonian University, community leader and outstanding teacher. In this park, education went hand in hand with outdoor recreation and play. Forty five busts of great Poles placed there had an important place in a program of patriotic education. Choral singing in the park, lectures on the history of Poland, symbols on uniforms, distinctions, and cultivation of national traditions, all helped to keep up the Polish spirit in the young generation during the Partitions. After the death of its founder in 1907, the park slowly changed in appearance, and the activities there changed as well. Finally, with the outbreak of the First World War, the park ceased to function for some time. During that time some playing fields, green areas, trees, busts and postuments were destroyed. The Second World War was even worse yeat for the park. Most of the trees were replanted near a Hitler-Jugend stadium then under cosntruction; the occupiers intended to destroy the statues exposed by this operstion, and it was only thanks to one of Dr. Jordan’s pupils that they were saved. After the Second World War, work on restoring the park’s previous appearance gradually went forward. The central circle with its statues was reconctructed after its former design; te rescued busts were placed, and several missing statues were reconstructed. Presently, Jordan Park, rich in historic values, a worldscale monument and a monument of Polish culture is, unfortunately, losing its former functions. Though the Dr. Henryk Jordan Park Society, established in 1957, has made efforts toward the restoration of Jordan’s traditions, youth activities were not restarted, and only occationaly have cultural and recreational events taken place in the park.

Kraków prawobrzeżny. Przemiany historyczno-kraj obrazowe krakowskich Łagiewnik
type: item
description: RIGHT-BANK CRACOW. HISTORIC AND SCENIC CHANGES IN CRACOW ŁAGIEWNIKI Łagiewniki is a former village, once some four kilometres south of Cracow, then incorporated into Cracow as a district. Since as early as the Middle Ages, settlement has been going on in the southern part of the village along the Wilga River bed, as confirmed by archeological findings from this area. From the 11th century Łagiewniki was a settlement providing services to the duke’s castle at Wawel Hill. In the 14th century settlement reached the castle area near today’s Sobótka and Myślenicka streets. At the end of the 15th century and from the mid-16th century the village belonged to the Cracow Castellany. The first reference to the Łagiewniki castle is from the 16th century; a trade route from Cracow to Hungary passed near the castle. During the First Partition of Poland (1772) Łagiewniki fell under the Austrian occupation and was incorporated into the so called „Ekonomia Myślenicka”. From that time to 1939 the village was in the hands of private owners, including the Baruch family (second half of the 19th century). Over the 19th century the village evolved from a traditional agricultural seltlement with some additional crafts into a housing suburb with industrial role (1st half of the 20th century). The present character of Łagiewniki was determined by the location of factories and industrial plants, mostly connected with the construction materials industry (the Baruch family’s brick and tile factories, gypsum mines, ceramics plants). The dominant element of the village landscape since the end of the 19th century has been the cloister of the Sisters of the Holy Mother of Charity. A cemetery for the soldiers of the First World War adjoins the wall of the cloister complex. Now Łagiewniki is composed of three urban complexes: the Cegielniania neighnourhhod, Łagiewniki (historic centre) and Wola Duchacka Zachód. The southern part is covered with the industrial waste dumps of the Soda Plant in Borek F…

O bramie Pobocznej w fortyfikacjach Krakowa
type: item
description: THE POBOCZNA GATE AT THE CRACOW FORTIFICATIONS The Poboczna gate at the foot of Wawel Hill leading towards Zwierzyniec, was erected c. 1340, together with defensive walls which linked the chartered city with the castle. Initially the tower probably bore the name „Zwierzyniecka” or „Grodzka”; at the end of the 14th century it was referred to as the „porta Dimitrij”, as it neighboured the manor of Dymitr of Goraj. It was also described as leading „to the Vistula”. Finally, in the second half of the 16th century it began to be called the Poboczna (sideway) Gate. The last of the names should not be associated with a minor role, but rather with the site to which the road out of this gate led; it was Poboczna Island, situated in Zwierzyniec at the mouth of the Rudawa River at the Vistula River. Iconography and maps do not permit accurate reconstruction of the appaearance and location of the medieval gate, which was destroyed during the reign of August II in the beginning of the 18th century. It was probably reconstructed c. 1740, without defensive features. It survived in this shape until 1822, when it was finally demolished. Exavation work may give answered to the question of the precise location of this structure.

Rola polityczna Zawiszy z Kurozwęk
type: item
description: POLITICAL ROLE OF ZAWISZA OF KUROZWĘKI This work is an attempt to show political career of one of Małopolska noblemen, who was elevated to the highest rank during the reign of Louis d’Anjou, King of Hungary. The twelve years of the rule of this king of d’Anjou dynasty in Poland have not been often described in historical studies, since that period did not distinguish itself in our history. For that monarch, the most important issue was to ensure succession of the throne to his daughters, and all activities of this king were aimed at the fulfillment of this goal. Cracow noblemen helped Louis to achieve this, which had significant impact on the history of Poland. Zawisza of Kurozwęki was among the most active in that field. He was from the Poraj Różyc family, son of Dobiesław, the castellan of Cracow. During the reign of Casimir the Great he achieved the dignity of Cracow archdeacon; he also participated in developing the statutes of the royal salines. The death of the last king of the Piast dynasty divided recently united Poland into two parties. The Wielkopolska noblemen and part of the clergy were agianst Louis and supported Kazimierz’s grandson Kaźko, Prince of Słupsk, as pretender to the Polish throne. Małopolska nobles supported d’Anjou dynasty. One of the results of this conflict is an account by Janko of Czarnków, Gniezno archdeacon, vice-chancellor and author of a chronicle, in which Zawisza is said to plot against him to deprive him of his office. For a long time this chronicle was the only source referring to this matter, and Zawisza was shown as an unscrupulous man, who did not hesitate to accuse the innocent to achieve the position he wanted. However, a sentence against Czarnkowski found Jan Dąbrowski by in Hungary, cast some light at that event and caused a more critical view on what the archdeacon said. As vice-chancellor, Zawisza accompanied the regent Elisabeth, daughter of King Władysław the Short, entrusted with the mission to carry into effect the …

description: HIDDEN MEANING OF EMBLEMS AND ARCHITECTURAL SCULPTURES ON CRACOW TOWNHOUSES One of the oldest identification signs on Cracow’s townhouses were emblems. They were usually sculptures in stone, stuccoes, and, more rarely, paintings. The oldest date from the 14th century. Despite changing times, styles and testes, this tradition survived as long as up to the 20th century. The reasons for placing emblems on houses were varied. Most often their purpose was to advertise an inn, a pharmacy, a shop or a craftsman’s workshop. In other events, they referred to the owner of the house. In such cases it was the patron saint, who was supposed to protect the house. In the 19th century new symbols appeared, but despite their symbolic and alluding character, they did not win the name of „house emblems”. There may be different reasons for this. When they appeared on the houses which had older names, naturally the tradition prevailed. Symbols were widely used in emblems, and in many cases today their meaning is not clear to us. The example of this can be the Pod Jaszczurką House (the Lizard House). It dates from the end of the 15th century. The name was distorted in the 20th century, and now it is popular under the faulty name „Jaszczury” (the Lizards), which clearly shows that meaning of this name was not understood. Assuming that the emblem can be explained as a symbol of a salamander, which used to be called „jaszczurka” (the lizard) in older times, the author tries to explain three meanings of the symbol of a salamander, two Christian, and one pagan and magic. In addition, the article discusses two other sculptures on the façades of Cracow townhouses, one from the turn of the 18th/19th century, and the latter from the first half of the 19th century. These sculptures cannot literally be called emblems of the houses, but the symbols and allusion in them has not be explained so far. This article is the first attempt at such an explanation.

„Rychtrady” Grzegorza i Katarzyny Przybyłów z 1534 r. w Muzeum Historycznym m. Krakowa
type: item
description: THE RYCHTRADY OF GRZEGORZ AND KATARZYNA PRZYBYŁO, 1534, IN THE CRACOW HISTORICAL MUSEUM Rychtrady is a name used for burghers’ portraits, carved in boxwood. The rychtrady of Katarzyna and Grzegorz Przybyło, dating from 1534, are exhibited in a room dedicated to guild mementos at the Cracow Historical Museum. These reliefs are among the eraliest burghers’ portraits in Poland. It is difficult to tell what their purpose was. They may have been models for silver portraits, or designs for the sarcophagus of the Przybyłos. No matter what their purpose was, the portraits of Katarzyna and Grzegorz Przybyło are outstanding works of art of great historical and artistic values. Cracow rychtrady drew attention as early as the middle of the 19th century. Leonard Lepszy, an outstanding expert on goldsmithery, suggested that their author was Maciej Stwosz. In 1927, in his work on artistic output of medallist Maciej Schilling, Maciej Gumowski attributed both carved portraits of the Przybyłos to this artist. He based this assumption on the monograms on them. However, neither M. Gumowski nor Leonard Lepszy provided firm evidence to support their views. In many publications from later times, various scholars shared the view Gumowski presented. Plaques with portraits of the Przybyłos are rectangular, 91 x 73 mm, and 13 mm thick; they are in a diptych from. The figures are represented including their hands. Three quarters of the bodies are shown, with the faces en profile. The artist did not neglect costly details of Renaissance burghers’ costume, though he focussed on the faces of the husband and his wife, featured as noble and couragous. To acquaint the viewer with the figures on the portraits, some more detailed interest should be drawn to the Przybyło family itself. It is belived that they came to Cracow from the Oświęcim or Łagów areas. The Przybyło’s high status is confirmed by many important functions he held in the guild. In 1534 he was a second senior of the guild, and in 1537-…

Dzieje krakowskiego domu przy ul. Krupniczej 26
type: item
description: HISTORY OF THE PALACE AT 26 KRUPNICZA STREET IN CRACOW The author presents the history of the palace and its origins. At the turn of the 15th century there was a large house on this site, with a pottery inside. Later, in the 17th century, there was a suburban guesthouse there, then replaced by a little wooden manor surrounded by a garden. According the Cracow City Map of 1820, made by Ignacy Enderle, it was the estate No 127, district IX, and it belonged to the Solecki family. The building and its courtyard were 150 and the garden 525 Viennese fathoms (ancient area measures). In 1826 the estate was a property of the Grzybowski family. After several years it belonged to a Cracow merchant Mateusz Rogowski. The Rogowski’s house was destroyed by a fire in 1850 — the most severe fire of Cracow. In 1854 another house in brick was built on this site by Rogowski. It was a one-storey house designed by Dr Ignacy Hercok. One of the greatest Polish 19th-century poets and painters, Stanislaw Wyspiański, was born in that house on 15 January 1869. In 1873 the house was remodelled to form a residence of Professor J. Szujski. He was an outstanding Polish historian and playwright, the Rector of the Jagiellonian University and a co-founder of the Academy of Arts and Letters in Cracow. The residence was designed by architect Antoni Łuszczkiewicz. The palace housed a magnificent scientific library and works of art. Szujski played an important role in Cracow’s scientific, cultural and political life, so the house was always full of guests. Szujski lived there for 10 years. He died prematurely at the age of 47, in 1883. In the 1880s the house got number 26, the same as it has toady. In 1896 the real property was passed to countess Róża Tarnowska, born Branicka. She turned the palace into a tenement house. In 1932 it was bought by an outstanding Polish painter Józef Mehoffer, the Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. He had the palace reconstructed and furnished with many works of …

Kossakówka
type: item
description: THE KOSSAKÓWKA The article is the first in our literature to deal with the history of the Kossak family house. They settled down in Cracow 123 years ago (in 1869), in a house called the Kossakówka. Three masters of battle-piece painting and painting representing horses — Juliusz Kossak (1824-1899), Wojciech Kossak (1856-1942) and Jerzy Kossak (1886-1955), and Wojciech’s two daughters — poetess and playwright Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzeska (1891-1945) and satirical writer Magdalena (pen-name Samozwaniec, 1894-1972) came from that family. The whole estate was composed of two old manor houses of a villa type and painter ateliers, surrounded by an English-style park, full of green trees and flowers. The home, always open, welcomed guests and enjoyed the renown of ‘Cracow’s most interesting home’. From 1870 to 1956 the Kossakowka was an artistic and literary salon; painters, writers, poets, actors, musicians, hunters, and officers used to meet here as it was a meeting place for Cracow intelligentsia. It enjoyed justified fame for its unforgettable atmosphere and unique charm. The article also describes the history of the houses architecture from its construction (1836-48) through its successive development and additions, improvements, embellishments, the times of standstill, negligence and deterioration, until the years of its decline, leading straight to its total ruin. There was even an intention to demolish the Kossakowka altogether, to pull down both manor houses, to cut off the trees in the parks and to construct huge skyscrapers and concrete blocks of flats on the site. In fact, persently they surround the site. However, the two manor houses survived, were partially renovated in 1961 and were qualified as 4th-class historical monuments; the park also survived, though it has been reduced from all sides and badly neglected. Presently the fifth generation of the Kossak family lives here. The last year brought some changes for better. The new generation is enthusiastic …

Sypialnia Art Deco ze zbiorów Muzeum Historycznego m. Krakowa. Uwagi o meblach i stylu wnętrz lat dwudziestych

description: AN ART DECO BEDROOM IN THE COLLECTION OF THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM IN CRACOW. SOME REMARKS ON FURNITURE AND INTERIOR STYLE OF THE 1920S The article An Art Deco Bedroom in the Collection of the Historical Museum in Cracow. Some Remarks on the Furniture and Interior Style of the 1920s, is an attempt at determining a role and contribution of Polish designers in the development of European cabinet-making and designing in the first half of the 20th century. The publication was arranged to best serve that purpose. It covers a short history of the style together with characteristics of various trends within the style, the achievements of modern decorative art at the Paris Exhibition of 1925, Polish artists’ contribution to the formation of a new aesthetics in applied art, and finally, the history of the Polish type of the Art Deco, followed by a description of a set of furniture from the Historical Museum collection. The article shows different possibilities of dating the style with reference to its aesthetic origins. It presents different criteria that may be applied. The idea of functionalism and simplification allows to use as reference the precursory achievements of Thonet (following le Corbusier); a sort of ‘historism’ in the ‘high’ Arto Deco reminds the eclectic style od the 19th century. Despite the fact that the symbolic beginning of the style is 1907, the date on which Picasso completed his Maids of Avignon, the article shows that many cabinet-makers consciously continued the Neo-romantic aesthetics and the manufacturing techniques developed at the turn of the 19th century along with team work methods characteristic of modern furniture making in the 1920s. This view applies especially well to the Polish version of the Art Deco which may be treated as natural continuation of the achievements of modernist artists — Stanislaw Wyspiański and Karol Tichy. Referring to folk and historic art the artists were seeking an archetypical model of decorative art. That created excel…

Fabryczna produkcja mebli w Krakowie od końca XIX do połowy XX wieku
type: item
description: INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF FURNITURE IN CRACOW FROM THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY TO THE MID-20TH CENTURY In the 1880s and 1890s first factories producing construction joinery elements and furniture were established in Cracow. These were the Stanislaw Burzyhski’s Electric Carpentry Factory at 44/46 Długa Street (1887), and the Steam Flooring and Carpentry Products Plant at 14 Dajwór Street, owned by brothers Roman and Leonard Muranyi (1890). The Cracow factories production was complementary to the production of craftsmen carpenters, prevailing in Cracow over the whole period of Galician era. In the early 1920s the new plants were established, including Stanislaw Iglicki’s Furniture Factory at 12 Kolejowa Street and S. Manne’s Furniture Factory in Łagiewniki. The existing firms — S. Burzyński’s furniture factory (moved to 4 fabryczna Street) and Muranyi’s factory at 7 Pola Street, were developed. Szczepan Łojek, a businessman from Kalwaria, made an attempt to open a furniture factory in Królowej Jadwigi Street. The rapid growth of wood production and furniture factories in the early 1920s stopped in the early 1930s, during the economic crisis when most of Cracow producers of wood products and furniture closed their factories. In the late 1930s there were only two large firms operating: the Maurycy Grunberg’s UNITAS Steam Wood Products Factory and S. Manne’s Furniture Factory. Just after the end of the war, all wood processing factories were closed. The S. Manne’s factory and the Roman Muranyi’s factory were on the list of companies taken over by the state on 19 October 1946. M. Grunberg’s factory was on a similar list of November 9, 1946. In the second half of the 19th century products imported from Berlin, Dresden, Wroclaw and Vienna and cheep local production prevailed on the Cracow furniture market. In the 1920s Cracow manufacturers supplied about 20% of the total amount of furniture sold in Cracow. The production was strongly supported by local designers and artists …

description: THE EXHIBITION OF ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIORS IN GARDEN SETTING, CRACOW 1912 On 4 June 1912, an Exhibition of Architecture and Interiors in garden setting was opened in Cracow on the site of a former fortress between the Błonia and the Dr Jordan Park. It was open for four month and a half. The scale of the event and the idea that lied behind it were unprecedented in Poland, and in the whole Europe. There were three smaller complementary exhibitis within the framework of the main exhibition. Those were: an exhibition of construction materials and industrial products used in construction, an exhibition of designs and three- dimensional models of residential houses affordable for families from different income groups, and the exhibition showing full-scale models of a suburban manor house, working class house, craftsman house and peasant house, complete with furnishings. The exhibition was very popular and brought visitors from all parts of Poland, then partitioned among three occupiers. Press was also much interested in the exhibition. As a whole, the exhibition was an interesting revue of a modern, functional architecture and crafts, based on old Polish architectural traditions and on the folk art from various regions of Poland. It well advertised Polish industry from all three parts of Poland and the local manufacturers. The exhibition was organized by the Delegation of Polish Architects and the Polish Applied Art Society.

Wyposażenie wnętrz klasztornych i kościelnych w Krakowie jako źródło do wiedzy o kulturze mieszczańskiej XV—XIX wieku

description: INTERIOR FURNISHINGS OF CRACOW CLOISTERS AND CHURCHES AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION ABOUT BURGHERS’ CULTURE (15TH-19TH CENTURIES) The monuments of the artistic and material culture of Cracow burghers are very scarce today. Old inventory lists and burghers’ testaments along with guild mementos, mainly chests, counters and special chalices (wilkomas) in the collection of the Historical Museum of the City of Cracow can give some idea about those monuments. Some items registered during the forty year — work on the Catalogue of Historical Monuments of the City of Cracow may help to bring back the old burghers culture. Four parts of the catalogue (eleven volumes) have been published since 1965. Apart from architectural details (doors, panellings, wall cabinets), especially interesting are cabinet-making products in cloisters and churches. These include benches, chairs, tables, cupboards and chests from the 15th through 19th centuries, which survieved until the present day. They were manufactured locally in Cracow or were imported from other places (e.g. from Gdansk). Jewellery and goldsmithery form another important group. Jugs, kettles, and bowls dating back to as far as the 15th century, can be listed among items that may have also served secular purposes. Jewellery is important for the research on the burgher culture. We can find works of jewellery on reliquiaries, monstrances and silver robes made for the holy icons in the Baroque times. In cloister and church treasuries and sacristies there are many canonicals dating back as far as the 15th century. These are not only chasubles, copes and dalmatics, but tabernacle curtains, tapestries hung on church walls on special occasions, and other kinds of weaving works as well. At least part of them, mostly from Italy and France, may have been donated by burghers and were originally adorning Cracow burghers’ houses; that refers also to locally manufactured embroidery. Very important collections of historical mementos preserved in…

Budowniczy krakowski Dominik Pucek i inwentarz rzeczy po nim pozostałych
type: item
description: CRACOW MASTER-BUILDER DOMINIK PUCEK AND AN INVENTORY OF HIS BELONGINGS In Cracow’s municipal records there are many inventories of items left by deceased citizens of Cracow. In 18th-century inventories there is a list of movable and immovable property left by Dominik Pucek. Pucek had already attracted attention of Stanislaw Tomkowicz who studied a map of Cracow executed by Pucek. Tomkowicz was specially interested in a large library catalogue in the inventory, including a rich collection of books on architecture, collected by the owner from his professional angle. Such extensive book collections cannot be found in burghers’ property inventories very often. Pucek did not spare expenses on books, as well as on various paintings described in the inventory as ‘painting stock’. The number of paintings is also very large, when compared with other burghers’ properties. Therefore the owner himself seemed interesting; the inventory says a lot about the owner, his material status and the furnishing of his home. Dominik Pucek (1723-1789), Cracow burgher, master-builder and land-surveyor, was, in modern terms, ‘professional engineer’. Master-builder himself, he was also builder’s son. His father’s name was Wojciech. Pucek run a workshop, performed various construction works in and outside Cracow, trained apprentices and journeymen who wanted to become master- builders. As a member of the Builders and Stone-Masons Guild in Cracow, he was elected president of the Guild. He performed construction works at Wawel, and in 1766 was appointed a supervisor of ‘the royal castle manufacture’, i.e., in fact, the manager of construction works. He supervised Wawel buildings till the end of his life; in the Wawel Cathedral there are still architectural details of his design. Pucek did also land-surveying work, sometimes with quite good results — he made several important situation maps of Cracow and Kleparz. The first was a map of Kleparz of 1744, and the last was the map of the Cracow Main M…

Wnętrza mieszkalne mieszczan krakowskich w XVII i XVIII wieku
type: item
description: THE INTERIORS OF CRACOW BURGHERS’ HOUSES IN THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTURIES It is inherent in human nature to modernize and change furnishings of interiors of their homes, which results in a complete obliteration of a cultural picture in that field. A reconstruction is possible only to a certain extent, with a certain probability, using written sources, iconography and the items which survived to the present time. No source is complete in itself, and needs to be verified or compared with other sources. An interior of a dwelling house reflects every-day and cultural life. The 17th century, an era of the sarmatyzm (old-Polish style), favoured the national style based on Polish tradition in art. In the house interiors, the style manifested itself the use of traditional beam-framed or casetone ceilings, covered with polychromy, not specially originally decorated, and painting the edges under the ceiling, as it used to be done in preceding centuries. It was also manifested the use of old forms of furniture, such as shelves, benches, and other painted basic furniture. Primarily the style was reflected in the liking for colourful polychromies and decorative tapestries. In the 17th century the walls were often covered with ranges of tapestry or gores of a two-colour tapestry hanging down on the walls. Painted or wood-printed paper and canvas hangings (koltryna) were also popular. Rich decoration of walls and ceilings was enhanced by a wide use of rugs, carpets, kilim tapestries and embroidered tapestries. The furniture was varied. New pieces of furniture were added to the old ones. Traditional local furniture, including shelves, attached-to-the-wall benches, side-boards, chests, and other simple painted pieces of furniture, stood side by side with Gdańsk furniture, massive and richly decorated in the baroque style (characteristic features of the Gdańsk furniture were well established around 1700). Beds were different in type; they ranged from simple painted beds manufactured by…

Dzieje jatek szewskich w Krakowie
type: item
description: THE HISTORY OF THE SHOE HALL IN CRACOW The permit to build a shoe hall at the Cloth Hall was granted by Bolesław the Chaste in the Cracow charter act (5 June, 1257). The shoe hall was mentioned for the first time as the jatki in the Kazimierz Jagiellończyk’s document of 23 June, 1468, in which some matters concerning property rights and use of the jatki were settled. The term was a translation of the Latin macellum meaning the stall, stand and the market place. The shoe hall was wooden at first, and then after a fire it was reconstructed in brick. After another fire it was reconstructed again in brick in 1599. It was built along the western façade of the Cloth Hall, in south-western part of the Main Market Square, close to the Town Hall. The hall was designed and built by Augustyn Litwinek who spent 10 years on that job. The building was long, with barrel-vaulted ceiling, dark interior, and the centrally placed octagonal copula. In the copula walls there were small windows letting some light in. The copula had painted internal decorations and a stone cartouche with the shoemakers’ guild emblem and a date of completion of the building. Today the cartouche can be seen in the National Museum in Cracow. In the hall which housed 84 stalls, shoes were sold by shoemakers’ wives, sometimes violent and rather shrewish women, so the sources report frequent conflicts. Also the guild members themselves were often conflicted. In time, the hall became encumbered with several donations for various institutions (the University, hospitals). The municipal authorities grew interested in the hall in the last quarter of the 18th century. However, some concrete steps towards buying the hall from private owners, as the restoration of the Cloth Hall was intended, were taken not earlier than during the period of the Free City of Cracow. These had hardly any effect, however, as the owners strongly resisted. However, the reviews made on that occasion provide a very interesting source material…
