Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Many years ago, when I was in the studio of the brilliant graphic artist, Jan Maciej Kopecki , I saw fresh prints of a copperplate ex-libris, depicting an image of the map of the Kingdom of Poland of 1632 and, against its background, a 1917 Polish saberthis "victorious saber" of the Polish-Soviet War of 1920.It turned out that it was Aleksander Guterch's exlibris and its symbolism was an excellent expression of the Professor's interests, as stated in the membership declaration of the Association of the Lovers of Old Arms and Uniforms, submitted on 1 June 1982.This area of the Professor's special interests in the field of militaria concerned military cartography and Polish white arms (Fig. 1).
