NORWID Cyprian - Pisma zebrane. Published by Zenon Przesmycki. T. F: Pisma prozą, dział 2: O sztuce i literaturze. Warsaw-Krakow 1911 [ital. 1946]. Printed by J. Mortkowicz. 16d, pp. XVI, 496, plates 29. broch.
Spine stained and cracked, small loss to corner of front cover, first sheet loose. Printing of this volume began (as with others) in 1911, but the outbreak of the First War halted publishing work. In the interwar years Przesmycki (Miriam) was busy with other projects related to Norwid's work; volume F, unfinished, rested in the W. L. Anczyc Printing House in Cracow. Only after the end of the Second World War was the printing work completed, and 33 years after it began, the volume hit the bookstores. The history of its publication and Przesmycki's fate is introduced by an introduction written by Waclaw Borowy. On the plates reproductions of Norwid's drawings and manuscripts. Title pages and ornaments designed by Adam Półtawski.
