Summary/Abstract: The present article completes the author’s book, Dagerotypy w zbiorach polskich. Katalog (‘Daguerreotypes in Polish Collections. A Catalogue’), published in 1989. It deals with several pictures taken by such Polish daguerreotypists as Karol Beyer in Warsaw (nos. 1-8), Dominik Zoner (no 9), as well as by anonymous artists (nos. 10-18), discovered after the book’s publication. Although some of these pictures were taken outside Poland, all of them present the Poles or persons associated with them. The author ends her article presenting Polish daguerreotypes and polonica in foreign collections (Lithuania and in Moscow, L’viv, Paris, Montrésor). The annex contains a list of corrections which should be made in this book due to the progressing research in the history of photography over the last twelve years. Digitalized and reedited material
