Photograph of John Jozwiak and unidentified man

from Archives of the Law Society of Ontario

  • Archives of the Law Society of Ontario said:
    We do not know what the text on the blackboard says - I believe it's in Polish - any help translating would be appreciated.
  • Viajante said:
    It is Polish. Loosely translated it means "Self study at Union P. P. Toronto 10 [March or May] 1919."
  • Archives of the Law Society of Ontario said:
    Great! Thank you for the translation.

H. Sienkewicz [i.e. Henryk Síenkíewicz] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Henryk Sinekiewicz (1846-1916; ck spelling), Polish journalist. Here's his wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henryk_Sienkiewicz
  • Wystan said:
    Author of (among other works) the novel, "Quo Vadis?" which was made into a 1950s Hollywood blockbuster. In 1905, he had won the Nobel Prize for literature, which is granted not for a specific work, but for the entire body of an author's literary achievement.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    pennylrichardsca and Wystan, Thanks for the additional information on Henryk Sienkiewicz. We will get his name corrected and add more detail to the record when we update.
  • Haakon von Martinsky said:
    After 34 months his name is still not correct! SIENKIEWICZ!!!
  • The Library of Congress said:
    It looks like we put his full name in a note but didn't provide the [i.e. Henryk Síenkíewicz] in the title. That's fixed now, with apology for the delay. --Helena (LOC)

I.J. Paderewski and wife (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Ignacy Jan Padereski, Polish composer and diplomat; his wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignacy_Jan_Paderewski That must be his second wife (the first died in 1881); her name was Helena Paderewska, before that Helena Górska, Baroness de Rosen. The couple came to the US to build support for Polish independence, and to give fundraising concerts. Helena died in Switzerland in 1974.
  • Art Siegel said:
    This is likely from April 15, 1915 "Ignace Jan Paderewski, the Polish pianist, arrived yesterday from London on the White Star liner Adriatic on his way to San Francisco to ask President Charles C. Moore of the Panama-Pacific Exposition to give one day for the benefit of the 10,000,000 homeless people in Poland who are facing death by starvation. His hair was longer and his face much sadder than when he last appeared in New York two years ago." query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D0CE5DF1338E633A...
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for supplying the details and likely context. We can add some information when we next update the description.
