Korespondencja firmy Gebethner & Wolff z Józefem Ignacym Kraszewskim

The presented selection of correspondence constitutes an interesting source concerning the relationship between publishers and authors within the area of Poland and partitioned Polish lands in the 19th century. This shows how complicated this relationship was and how a publishing office worked, including the issues of selection of paper, fonts or covers. On the other hand, it reveals formal difficulties related to issuing and printing books (among others, censorship, customs frontiers and currencies). The selection of letters dates back to 1870-1871. The presented correspondence is a part of handwritten legacy of J.I. Kraszewski, which can be currently found in the Jagiellonian Library.
