O jednej fotografii Teodora J. Willnowa z 1854 roku
Concerning a photograph by Teodor J. Willnow from 1854

Summary/Abstract: Information relating to a portrait of Franciszek Traeger (ill. 1) dating from the time of his sojourn in Warsaw in the autumn of 1854 (date of arrival: 18th October) in Teodor Juliusz Willnow’s photographic atelier on Mazowiecka Street (land registry no. 1347d; ill. 2). This picture is of significance to the history of Warsaw photography, since, together with a number of photographs by Marcin Olszyński and Karol Beyer, it comprises a group of early positives preserved on paper from the first half of the 1850s. It is also the oldest known picture produced by Willnow (not counting a daguerotype portrait of Illarion Wojnow from sometime between 1851 and June 1854), and the only likeness of Traeger, who was the first mayor of Łódź.
