A magnificent look back into time, made possible by approximately 300 historic photographs taken in Poland one-hundred years ago.  This book is lavishly illustrated with high-quality sepia-tone photographs.  The text is written in Polish with English language translation.  A wonderful visual record which pulls you into the drama of history and human life in the dawning years of the twentieth century.  

Quote from author's forward:
"...We feel emotionally moved when looking at old images of the world changed by two world wars and afflicted by communism.  We are amazed by the scale and pace of changes, which took place in a relatively short period of time.  We are struck by provinciality, even poverty and backwardness of small towns and villages, as well as peculiar shapes of contemporary technical wonders, which bring an indulgent smile ..."  Janusz Sepiol
