Title of the week

Another album of photographs by one of the most acclaimed European photojournalists, Chris Niedenthal, devoted to a particular period of the Polish history – the martial law.

Wyjątkowy album wydany z okazji 40. rocznicy pamiętnego Sierpnia ’80 poświęcony strajkom na Wybrzeżu, które trwale zapisały się w historii, dając początek wolnej Polsce.

The subject of another album from the FOTO RETRO (RETRO PHOTO) series is Vilnius – the capital and the main cultural centre of Lithuania.

Lovers of old Warsaw and particularly its Praga borough will be delighted with this album. A collection of so far unpublished photographs of Praga in the 1970s, it  features the residents of the borough ad other varsovians in social situations, and especially in the unique, now legendary milieu of the Różycki and Szmulek Bazaars, which constituted the semi-legal business underbelly of communist Poland.

This album on Polish museums, compiled under the guidance of Dorota Folga-Januszewska, a distinguished expert on the subject, presents the history, present-day situation, and future prospects of Poland’s museums, focusing on the principal institutions and their collections, their most treasured exhibits, and new ideas in museum development.

What did Polish roads, towns, villages look like a hundred year ago? What faces and clothes did the lens of an old camera catch? What events, customs, and places have been preserved in the yellowish, faded photographs found in the State Archives? Just open this album to see.

The Łazienki Królewskie Park (Royal Baths Park) in Warsaw is a unique place where beautiful architecture meets nature. The entire park complex which consists of three gardens, the Palace on the Isle, Old Orangery, Myślewicki Palace, Amphitheatre and other architecturally interesting buildings, covers the area of 76 hectares.

This unique collection of archival photographs reveals a familiar, and yet very different face of the royal city of Cracow: it allows us to visit places which ceased to exist a long time ago.

1989 was a breakthrough year in Poland’s history. Chris Niedenthal , one of the best-known European photographers, was able to capture that great change, the decline and ultimate fall of communism in Poland, with masterly insight and irony.

63 Days of Life and Struggleis a unique publication devoted to the heroes of Poland’s struggle for freedom and for life…

To mark the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising we provide readers with an illustrated book, compiled in cooperation with the Warsaw Rising Museum, containing many rarely published photographs from that period.
