Description:
The first chronologically of the guidebooks written by M. Orlowicz (1881-1950), doctor of law, sightseer, popularizer of tourism. The book was written thanks to an "accident": in 1917. Orłowicz was stationed with the army in Przemyśl and it was there, at the urging of local activists, that he undertook to write the guide ("he immediately set to it and within 3 months completed it" - from the preface). Numerous publicity inserts at the end.
