Bartoszewicz, who in the 1930s undertook the mission of collecting the most important works of Polish art. Thanks to his efforts, the Łódź collection was enriched with such pearls as "Vision" by Jacek Malczewski, "Gentleman in a Red Coat" by Aleksander Gierymski, and "Napoleon on Horseback" by Piotr Michałowski.

The album also includes the fascinating story of the creation of the "Portrait of the Mother" by Henryk Rodakowski, which delighted even Eugène Delacroix.
