The album "Łódź from end to end" is not only a collection of photos, but above all a story about the city and its people. The photos take us back in time, allowing us to see Łódź as it no longer exists. It is a sentimental journey for those who remember those times, and an interesting history lesson for younger generations. Stefan Sztromajer, the author of the photos, captured in his shots fleeting moments that make up the rich history of Łódź.

Joanna Podolska, the author of the walk around Łódź, prepared an extraordinary journey in time for the readers. The album is not only a collection of photos, but also comments and descriptions that bring closer the realities of life in Łódź in those years. Walking through the pages of the album, we can see the changing streets, squares, buildings and the everyday life of the inhabitants. It is a story about Łódź that deserves to be remembered and preserved for future generations.

In the album we find photos from various periods of post-war Łódź. From the 1950s, when the city was slowly rising from the ruins, to the late 1970s, when the old weavers' houses on ul. Piotrkowskiej began to disappear. In the photos we see empty squares, formed in the place of demolished houses, film and theater posters on the city walls, propaganda slogans and sad people waiting in queues. It is a story about Łódź, which was a city of contrasts, but also a city of hope and aspirations for a better life.

Księży Młyn Dom Wydawniczy, the publisher of the album, took care of the high quality of the edition. The hardcover, large format (210x295 mm) and careful printing make the album not only a valuable source of knowledge about Łódź, but also a beautiful object that is worth having in your library. It is an ideal gift for all lovers of the history of Łódź and photography.
