The presented selection of correspondence constitutes an interesting source concerning the relationship between publishers and authors within the area of Poland and partitioned Polish lands in the 19th century. This shows how complicated this relationship was and how a publishing office worked, including the issues of selection of paper, fonts or covers. On the other hand, it reveals formal difficulties related to issuing and printing books (among others, censorship, customs frontiers and currencies). The selection of letters dates back to 1870-1871. The presented correspondence is a part of handwritten legacy of J.I. Kraszewski, which can be currently found in the Jagiellonian Library.

The Gebethner & Wolff company established in November 1857 was one of the biggest bookstores and publishing houses in Poland at the turn of 20th century. The company rendered its services to the most prominent writers of its times, among others: Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, Eliza Orzeszkowa and Władysław Reymont. The article aimed at presenting the history of the company from the perspective of its complex relationships with the authors. The issues of author’s creative autonomy, the publisher’s commercial approach to literature and professional fees were discussed. The presented research was based on the analysis of the correspondence between the authors and Gebethner & Wolff publishing house and it covered the period up till 1905.
