Franz Hansftaengl (1804-1877) - Bavarian painter, master lithographer and photographer. He studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, where Polish painters, the so-called "Munichers," were a strong community. His outstanding work was the production of 200 lithographs of collected works in the Dresden Gallery (1835-1852). Maurycy Robitschek (Robiczek), a bookseller, in 1872, together with Herman Altenberg, established their own bookstore and picture warehouse at 38 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street, under the name Altenberg and Robitschek. At the end of 1879, the bookstore passed to the ownership of Maurice Robitschek, who then began using a polonized version of his name: Robiczek.
