Description:
Issue 1.
"Poland is a great kaleidoscope of lands, landscapes and worlds. For a country that is admittedly not very big, but also not too big, this variety is impressive. In this sense, Poland is a bit like a botanical garden or a museum of natural history, where a multitude of different forms of life are gathered in a small space. It is difficult to understand this by looking at a soulless map or even by reading descriptions in guidebooks. It's a little easier to feel this diversity by browsing through the album. This magnificent album presents Polish art, architecture and landscapes, taking into account the division into geographical regions: from the Tatra Mountains to the Baltic Sea. Special emphasis is placed on architectural monuments."
It also includes an index of the names of photographers.
