a very short entry:
Polish Arms website has made available Polonica a free-to-download ebook of the rarest kind and quality, namely a 1943 photo album being the collection(in Swedish and Polish) of some of the Old Polish historic artifacts held at the Royal Armory in Sweden.
The description from their page:
“Polonica” is a
small catalogue of 60 Polish objects kept in the
Livrustkammaren
collection in Stockholm.
This small but
informative booklet is written in Swedish and Polish
but pdf file
which is for free was ocr-ed, it means the text can be highlighted
and copied by a user, for convenient use in on-line translators.
The book consist of
black & white pictures of the most important objects
that were
either given to Swedish kings or became spoils of war
in 1655-1656
and 1702-1706, when Swedish army invaded Poland.
Please note, that the Stockholm Roll is no longer in Stockholm, as painting was returned by Olof Palme to Polish care and custody at the Warsaw Royal Castle in 1974.
For the last month or so the Rolka (Roll) had been on display at the Royal Castle, but the exhibit closed yesterday.
