Góry wołają (1939)

This exemplary album in the style of propaganda-heavy travel publications shows the beauty of Poland’s mountains. It is a march with a camera through the Carpathian Mountains along the country’s southern border, from the Beskid range in the west all the way east to the Czywczyńskie/Chyvchyn Mountains. It contains almost two hundred shots by several dozen photographers, a considerable number of which come from the archive of the Tourism Department at the then Ministry of Transport and many of them were prize winning or highly commended entries to a winter photography competition run by the ministry in 1938.
