Unger's pavilion
In October 1896 Kurier Warszawski reported that now that the lease for the site of
the exhibition hall had expired Count Jozef Potocki wanted to restore his Palace to its
former grandeur and was going to have the exhibition pavilion dismantled completely,
and no trace of it would be left.
There were already several Warsaw periodicals with offices in the Palace before
the weekly Tygodnik Ilustrowany moved in. From 1848 to 1864 Gazeta Rzqdowa
Krdlestwa Polskiego, the official government gazette of the Kingdom of Poland,
which was issued in a Polish and a Russian edition, had its editorial and adminis-
trative office in the wing on the second court; as of 1861 it appeared under a new
title, Dziennik Powszechny — Pismo Urzfdowe, Polityczne i Naukowe. The location
in the Palace of the editorial office of a daily publication entitledH»fra£r dedicated
to the theatre was an ambitious undertaking which unfortunately proved ephem-
eral. Alongside repertoires of the Warsaw theatres and news of cultural events,
it provided readers with information on famous actors, playwrights, and theatre
personalities, as well as reviews. It was published in 1876-1877, but dosed down
owing to an insufficient number of subscribers. A similar fate befell the weekly
Przyroda i Przemysi, which presented information on science and technology to
the general reader and was issued by Gebethner and Wolff’s publishing company
in 1878-1881.
One of the tenants whose work was associated with the cultural sphere and who
rented premises in the Palace was the bookbinder Karol Bagiriski, who bound
volumes of a series called Wzory sztuki sredniowiecznej on medieval art with lith-
ographs by Maksymilian Fajans, for the scholars Aleksander Przezdziecki and
Edward Rastawiecki. For several decades there was a bookshop, Zawadzki and
Wjcki’s, in the corps degarde. When it moved out in 1855 its place was taken by
a new bookshop run by Mr. L. Drwalewski, and Henryk Hirszel’s stationery shop
which also sold artists’ equipment. Hirszel also started to act as a broker in the sale
of works by Warsaw painters, such as Wojciech Gerson, Franciszek Kostrzewski,
Henryk Pillati, Tytus Maleszewski, and others, and his shop turned into a min-
iature gallery. Hirszel also traded in prints and photographs offamous places and
fine buildings, such as Gothic churches and monuments in France, England, and other
countries, as his advertisements in the daily press said in 1861. He must have had
competition from a company known as Sklad Rycin i Obrazow, J. Dazziaro, estab-
lished in September 1855 with a business address in the Potocki Palace. Franciszek
Dazziaro, whose company had branches in Moscow, Paris, and St. Petersburg, of-
fered a wide assortment of the best French, English, and German aquarelles, prints,
and lithographs, the last-mentioned of which were usually coloured in. Dazziaro
published an album with views of Warsaw which was printed in Paris. Credit is
due to him as well for establishing working relations with Polish artists like Wo-
jciech Gerson, who did drawings of Polish peasant costumes for him, which were
then printed in Paris and sold in his shop on the Krakowskie Przedmiescie. In mid-
1865 Dazziaro’s was taken over by Mr. Nervo, as we are informed by the Warsaw
newspapers.
In April 1859 Henryk Natanson’s bookshop was established next to Dazziaro s. It
sold chiefly scientific books, mostly medical works, alongside periodicals, atlases,
Watercolours,
beautiful prints,
and professionai
printers
