A Regionalist with a Passion for Long-Distance Travel: Philip Sulimierski and His “Wędrowiec”
Languages of publication
Abstracts
The article focuses on an outstanding Polish publisher and ethnographer – Philip Sulimierski (1843–1885). Although trained as a mathematician, he was a traveler at heart and edited the magazine “Wędrowiec”. It was the first illustrated tourism and travel magazine in Poland. This 19th century-magazine was so original for its time that the format of “National Geographic” was based on it. Sulimierski was also the creator and editor of the “Dictionary of the Polish Kingdom and other Slavic Countries”, which to this day remains an invaluable resource for geographers, ethnologists and historians.
