Scroll with an image of Prince Przemysl II, painted in watercolour by the artist of our publishing house, Marek Miha. The portrait refers stylistically to the series of drawings Poczet królów i książąt polskich by Jan Matejko, in which the artist did not include an image of Prince Przemysl II.

PRZEMYSŁ II

After the heirless death of Boleslaw the Pious in 1279, Przemysl became lord of the whole of Greater Poland. In 1282, he forced the Duke of Pomerania to pay a fief tribute. Henry IV Probus bequeathed Malopolska to him in his will. In 1295, the Pope consented to the coronation of Przemysl, as king of Poland. In 1296, Przemysl set out on a tour of Pomerania, where he was assassinated, with the unexplained involvement of Czechs, by the Brandenburg margraves.

Description

Edition in the form of a stylized scroll with a wax seal suspended on strings. It is printed on decorative paper, similar in texture and properties to the handmade papers used in the old days. An additional characteristic element of the publication are the jagged edges of the sheet, which are stylistically reminiscent of old incunabula affected by the tooth of time. As in all our wall publications, the paper is coated with a finishing matte laminate on both sides, which strengthens it and protects it from moisture and dust. In addition, this treatment makes the scroll more similar to the original parchment. The sheet is wound on wooden rollers topped with knobs with metal fittings. The whole is reminiscent of the scrolls of Roman scriptures or Jewish torah. Author’s binding by Pergamena Publishing House with decorative string for hanging.
