Another recommendation for 2nd Polish Corps collectors
RAMIE PANCERNE 2 Polskiego Korpusu. (or The Armoured Arm of the 2nd Polish Corps) Published in Rome 1946 by Referat Kulturyi Prasy 2 Warszawskiej Dywizji Pancernej. Text by Michał Siemiradzki, includes several hundred photographs by T. Szumański (offical war photographer with the Polish 2nd Armoured Division), the cover graphics and inner photomontages are all by the brilliant war-artist Stanisław Gliwa. This is now quite rare period photoalbum. Just over 2700 were printed in Polish and and edition of 1500 copies printed in English. There were at least two different bindings; one with an embossed cloth cover and one like the attachment a printed cover glued to heavy board back with a cloth spine.
This is an English edition—though the cover text remained in Polish.
