Walery Maliszewski (1836–1885) – nie tylko fotograf Krakowa

Walery Maliszewski (1836–1885) is renowned primarily for his photographic documentation of Kraków, particularly its Old Town and Wawel Castle. However, his oeuvre extends beyond documentary work to include portraits, 'ethnic types' depicting local diversity, and creative projects like photomontage calendars and collages. The study clarifies misconceptions about the onset of his photographic career, correcting earlier dates and providing a more accurate timeline. It also sheds light on his business ventures, including partnerships and failed attempts to expand his studio to Krynica, while highlighting his use of collodion negatives and albumen prints. Additionally, it notes his role in organizing exhibitions featuring international photographs, particularly from World's Fairs.
