This happened around 2010 during one of my visits to my family home in Biłgoraj. Looking through the old mementos, I came across an album with numerous old photographs depicting, among other things, manor houses, palaces and their owners with their families from Greater Poland. Some photos were taken in Szwajcaria Kaszubska and at the Baltic Sea. The prints showed the surnames and the names of the places where the photographs were taken. However, there was no information about the photographer and the owner of the album. But inside the album, I found two loose pages with photographs and a letter sent by the Society of bee-keepers from Bucharest to Włodzimierz Rulikowski, living in chateau de Poturzyn. One of these photographs depicts him together with other participants of the Bucharest conference. After familiarizing myself with the album, I began working on identifying the places shown on the prints, gathering information about the manor houses and the people who were captured by an unknown photographer. Several years passed. In December 2015, my cousin Anna Dąbrowska died in Celestynów near Otwock. She left a number of mementos, including numerous letters and photographs. A few months later, Magdalena Maszewska, who organized the documents of the deceased, sent me an old cardboard suitcase containing several photograph albums which she found in the attic of my cousin’s house. The albums included photographs and documents which seemed to be connected with the above-mentioned Włodzimierz Rulikowski from Poturzyn, where my grandmother’s uncle was a property administrator. The entire collection of the Poturzyn mementos consists of four photograph albums with 166 pages of photographs, postcards, business cards, letters, tickets, hotel adverts etc. In addition, the collection includes 6 loose pages with photographs and letters connected with the trips of the owner of Poturzyn (a multi-hectare landed estate) to Algeria and Romania. He travelled there on business as an agronomy engineer.
