TI - The Photographic Documentation of St Catherine’s Church in Cracow in Karol Lanckoroński’s Collection of Photographs
AB - 
	A collection of photographs gathered by Karol Lanckoroński serves as a kind of photographic archive today. Because of the authorship of photographs kept there, this collection is not only of documentary, but also collector’s and artistic value. Kept in the Phototheque of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, this 19th-century photographic documentation contains, among others, photographs concerning St Catherine’s Church and the Augustinians’ monastery in the Cracow district of Kazimierz, as well as historic items and works of art connected with these sites. Most of the 47 identified thematic prints are signed with the surname Krieger. Made in Ignacy Krieger’s Studio, the photographic documentation of St Catherine’s Church that Karol Lanckoroński decided to put in his collection separates a number of thematic categories that are its characteristic features: the architecture of the church and the monastery, sepulchral architecture and sculpture, panel painting and the main altar serving as an example of 17th-century “monumental woodcarving”. Thus, the photographs described in the paper serve as interesting and valuable archive materials.
