Views of old Gdańsk - artistic prints inspired by history

Available at UG Library

We invite you to discover a unique collection of views of historic Gdańsk, developed on the basis of drawings from the 18th–20th centuries held in the Library’s collections. The prints have been reproduced using contemporary fine art printmaking techniques by Małgorzata Leszczewska-Włodarska, who, with exceptional attention to detail, recreated the methods of the old masters, employing etching and soft-ground techniques.

Each work combines historical accuracy with artistic interpretation, allowing you to see Gdańsk of centuries past in a timeless form. This collection is intended both for admirers of the city and for print collectors, as well as for those seeking unique objects of high aesthetic and educational value.

These prints can make a truly special gift — whether for yourself or for someone close to you. They are an original present for lovers of history, art, and Gdańsk, combining artistic merit with a timeless character.

On our website, you will find the complete offer of prints, including designs, descriptions, and prices. We encourage you to explore the collection and make a purchase.
