Mickiewicz in Warszawa 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.

Witaj Swiatopelku!
Widzialem rozne pomniki Mickiewicza, ale ten warszawski robi najwieksze wrazenie. Ciekawe, ze Mickiewicz nigdy nie byl w Warszawie, w Krakowie zreszta tez.
Serdecznosci!

Hello!
I like very much your composition and theme, very good note to show all of us about the poet. I like too the play of contrasts and the natural framing...Well done.
Congratulations.
