| History of Polish Photography |
| To celebrate the 190th anniversary of Karol Beyer's birth, the Polish Post issued 4 stamps with reproductions of his photographs from the National Museum in Warsaw. The stamps present the Author's self-portrait (1858), portraits of peasants from Wilanow (1866), the Holy Cross church in Warsaw (1858) and Russian army at the Castle Square in Warsaw (1861). Karol Beyer is considered the father of Polish photography. His photographs of the 1861 uprising was not well received by Russia and earned him the right to spend two years to a remote region of Russia. |
