Views of old Gdańsk - artistic prints inspired by history

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.

Prices range from 183 to 250 PLN, depending on the design chosen. All prints are elegantly framed with a passe-partout.

The prints can be viewed and purchased at the Main Library – they are displayed in the showcases on the first floor, next to the self-check-out desk.
Purchases can be made at the circulation desk (payment by card or BLIK).
