Polish Books for Children and Young People Published in Eastern Galicia in 19th Century

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the leading firms printing Polish books and magazines for children and young readers published in Eastern Galicia; discusses also the quantitative and qualitative effects of this publishing activity. It is composed of two parts. The first includes a presentation of the publishing milieu in Lvov: directions of activity of both printing firms and publishing institutions, which were operating in this metropolitan town. The second part concerns the typographic production made by the provincial outlayers and editors for juvenile readers. The analysis of the repertoire of Galician publishing houses made it possible to determine what and how many Polish books have been addressed to young readers as well as evaluate the considerable contribution of these houses to the development of the education, patriotism and the national culture – especially in the times of Galician autonomy.
