The subject of this dissertation are historical, artistic and librarian collections gathered in Przeworsk by Duke Henryk Lubomirski. As a result of a pact from 1823 with Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński Henryk Lubomirski accepting the function of the curator of the Ossolineum ascribed by right of succession to Przeworsk fee tail heirs, established the Museum of the Lubomirski Dukes and committed himself to donate his own collections to it. In years 18256–1870 Henryk Lubomirski and his son Jerzy Lubomirski enriched the Ossolineum library with a valuable collection of manuscripts and books and the Lubomirski Museum with a collection of paintings, graphics, drawings, medals and coins, historical collections and that of military accessories called “the Przeworsk armoury”.

The Ossolineum was a result of scientific patronage undertaken by the representatives of the cultural elite since the beginning of the 19th century creating institutions of scientific and artistic life independent from the annexing countries. Those were foundations, to a lesser degree subjects of political pressure, which could be presented by their founders as nationally indifferent. In reality, however, they played a key role in maintaining national identity, educating intelligentsia and gathering and protecting the heritage of “the nation without a country”. Inscribing in the tradition of the activity of Duchess Izabela Czartoryska in Puławy, Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński established one of the first and largest Polish libraries which since the very beginning was open to the scientific world. Along with the libraries of the Zamoyski family in Warsaw and of the Raczyński family and Tytus Działyński in the Poznańskie region they created a network of libraries (mutual contacts and exchanges of doublets) radiating onto Polish annexed territories. And similarly to those the Ossolineum being a result of the patronage generated similar initiatives with their contemporary people who donated there not only family libraries but also gathered for generation works of are and other collections. An integral part of the Ossolineum was Dukes Lubomirskis’ Museum whose owners committed themselves to support this institution thanks to the Przeworsk fee tail set up for this very purpose. The Ossolineum functioned without breaks throughout the 19th century realizing postulates of its founder and consecutive curators, namely Duke Henryk and Jerzy Henryk Lubomirski and Maurycy Dzieduszycki continuing the realization of a sentence inscribed above the Sibyl temple in Puławy: The past for the future.

The concept of upbringing was truly revolutionised in the 18th century. From the theses of the English scholar John Locke, who encouraged changes to the approach to young people and educating their spirit (mind) so that they would become righteous and just citizens, to the ideas introduced by the Geneva-based philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau, suggesting that a child is a being completely different from an adult, so the concept of education should also be completely different. In Poland, there were some reflections of the aforementioned changes in education and upbringing, as evidenced by Prince Henryk Lubomirski, who at a very young age was placed under the care of his relative, Princess Izabela Lubomirska, née Czartoryska. It was she, influenced primarily by Jean Jacques Rousseau, who decided to raise Prince Henry according to the standards of the time.

According to acts by the founder of Ossolineum Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński the tasks of the literary (i.e. scientific) curatorship included managing and supervising the activities of the institution most of all in the scope of administrative-proprietary and personal matters. The position of the literary curators was taken by fee-tail heirs of the Lubomirski family form Przeworsk in years 1827–1944 (Henryk in years 1827–1859, Jerzy – 1847–1851 and 1869–1872 and Andrzej – 1882–1944) or legal guardians of the Przeworsk fee tail (Kazimierz Krasicki in years 1872–1882) except for the years 1851–1869 when the Austrian authorities trusted this position to Maurycy Dzieduszycki for political reasons. The main merit of the literary curatorship was to maintain the character of this institution as it was specified by Ossoliński as a Polish national establishment in the period of the anti-Polish policy realized by the Austrian administration in Galicia in the 1830s. Literary curators also took merit for gaining additional sources of funds for Ossolineum (among others, through obtaining the right to print school textbooks in 1876). In years 1847–1913 literary curators and vicecurators appointed by them took the responsibility of direct management of this institution. Although it caused competence conflicts with consecutive directors of Ossolineum, namely August Bielowski and Wojciech Kętrzyński, but at the same time it allowed them to focus on scientific works and elaborating library resources. Henryk Lubomirski and his son Jerzy also took merit in multiplying museum collections donating their vast collection of paintings, graphics and numismatics being the basis to launch their Museum in Ossolineum in 1869. A negative aspect of the literary curatorship of Andrzej Lubomirski was treating the Ossolineum building as a kind of private seat with harm to the literary and museum needs of the institution and making at times too arbitrary and thoughtless decisions in its matters.

In 1808 the Warsaw Society of Friends of Science decided to publish a work of John Baptist Albertrandi „Historia polska medalami zaświadczona i objaśniona” (History of Polish MedalsRecorded and Expounded). The book was supposed to be illustrated with images of all medals stamped and known in Poland. Despite many years of ongoing preparations, the completed and ready numismatic study was not published. The copperplates for the engravings, of which there are four hundred and thirty-four, were created between 1822 and 1828. After the fall of the November Uprising they were conscated and exported to Russia to enrich the holdings of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, where they remain to this day. Before they were carried off, around thirty copies of the set were printed. The  subject of this article are four albums including copies of prints from the copperplates for the engravings, stored in National Museum in Krakow, Jagiellonian Library (two albums) and Science Library of PAU (Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences) and PAN (Polish Academy of Sciences) and one album from National Museum in Poznan containing so called new prints stamped in 1872 in Saint Petersburg. e article contains a presentation of all four albums, which are analysed from several standpoints, namely, historical, provenance, as collector’s items, as works of art and as works created to be printed.
