Monument of poet Photo

Photographer’s Note

Warszawa (Warsaw), Krakowskie Przedmieście street. Adam Mickiewicz Monument. Designed by Cyprian Godebski. The monument to the greatest Polish poet (1798-1855). Unveiled in 1898, 100 years after his birth, in the epoch of intense Russification of Poland after the January Uprising. Its inauguration was a success of the Construction Committee headed by Michał Radziwiłł and Henryk Sienkiewicz (future Nobel Prize in literature). In 1942, the Nazis destroyed it and transferred to Hamburg. Only the head and a fragment of the torso were recovered for the post-war reconstruction works carried out under J.Szczepkowski and J.Trenarowski. Unveiled in 1950.

Serwus Swiatek!
Juz sama nie wiem, ktory pomnik Mickiewicza ciekawszy, czy ten w Warszawie, czy ten w Krakowie. Ale Twoja fotka ekstra, zwlaszcza jesli chodzi o kolory.
Siemka!

Hi Swiatopelk,
this is really a VERY famous poet! and it is a very good photo taken from a very good POV, showing the monument and the surrounding area very well.
Hmm... monuments are like humans: they have their own fate (sometimes it is a sad fate, like in this case), too!
Best regards,
Elena
