The presented article is devoted to one of the old prints found in the collections of the Main Library at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (SD 3964 I). This book, issued in 1687 by Rev. Wojciech Laktański, a Poznań canon, deals with a small, seventeenth–century icon, to this day featured in the church of the Holy Virgin Mary and St. Stanis ław the Bishop in Szamotuły. The old print in question contains acts of two commissions, which met in 1665 and 1666 upon the initiative of Stefan Wierzbowski, Bishop of Poznań, in order to decide whether the painting could be presented to the public as miraculous; the other document are accounts of the favours obtained by the faithful, who sought the help of Our Lady of Szamotuły in 1675, 1686 and 1687. The old print constitutes the most important source for the recreation of the history of the Szamotuły painting from the time when it found itself in the Commonwealth. The original owner of the icon was a certain Ruthenian prince. During one of the wars waged by King Jan Kazimierz against Muscovy, the icon was seized by Aleksander Wolff, royal courtier and leaseholder of Szamotuły, who subsequently placed it in his castle chapel. One day, Wolff noticed bloody tears flowing down the face of the Madonna. News about the supernatural phenomenon rapidly reached the diocese. The circumstances of the miracle were examined by a special commission, which ordered the transference of the icon to the collegiate treasury. Yet another commission permitted a public display of the painting, which was installed in a specially built altar. From that time, the cult of Our Lady of Szamotuły developed uninterruptedly, reaching its apogee at the turn of the seventeenth century. Cited accounts indicate that the supernatural events usually concerned healing. Faith in the miraculous power of the likeness and the associated forms of the cult — pilgrimages, processions, services, and offered vota —are typical for the general image of post–Reformation religiosity. The distinguishing feature of Szamotuły among other Marian sanctuaries in Great Poland is the untypical nature of the adored painting — a copy of the depiction of the Our Lady of Kazan, extremely popular in Rus’.

The spatial configuration of the town, preserved without greater changes since the thirteenth century, together with the castlć located on the site of the former castle-town, comprise an extremely interesting town planning complex. Its value is enhanced by the extant monuments of architecture, the most important being the parish church and the castle ruins. Just as fascinating are the titular Classical objects, the first being the town hall standing in the middle of the Market Square. The object in question owes it Classical shape to eighteenth-century redesigning (1743-1752); only its n eo -(Io th ic tower was added when the town hall was rebuilt after 1827 when a fire destroyed a considerable part of the town. The most important objects raised in Międzyrzecz during the first half of the nineteenth century include a neoclassical Protestant church and the accompanying vicarage and school (1828-1833). The complex occupies the central part of the n o rth e rn row of houses in the Market Square. The au th o rship o f the project was ascribed to Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who probably only confirmed plans devised in Berlin. Today, the building is a Roman Catholic church. Slightly older is the new synagogue (1825), which re placed a predecessor in Żydowska Street (today: Piotra Skargi Street), destroyed by fire. At present, the building, in a highly unsatisfactory state of preservation, serves as a storehouse. Mention is due to n o n -ex tan t Classical objects, whose appearance is known from old photographs, and which include the old secondary school, built near the parish church in 1838, as well as the home of the merchant J. J. Volmer from the end of the eighteenth century in the Market Square. Międzyrzecz includes a large complex of Classical residential buildings in the Old Town, which encompass the Market Square and Świerczewskiego, Waszkiewicza, Wesoła, and 30 Stycznia streets. A characteristic type encountered here is a th re e - or four-axial g round-floor or single-storey house. The decoration of the elevations is limited usually to cornices and encircling floors and entrances; a more rare element at ornamental friezes or decorative panels below the windows. The majority of the houses is devoid of more significant artistic assets, but together they constitute an interesting complex endowed with specific architectural expression.
