In the introduction, the author (owner of a photographic establishment in Czempin in Greater Poland) wrote: "Traveling a lot in the Principality, I noticed that our souvenirs - manors and mansions of the nobility - these witnesses of the former splendor, are being depleted with each passing day, either by rebuilding the historical seats of our ancestors, or by dismantling and erecting new ones [...]. Descriptions of the manors rely on township documents, church books and on pads, diaries and other descriptions kindly sent to me by [...] owners."
