A Kraków beggar

ListenCurator · 0:11 · AI voice

The Krieger studio made more than views of the city. A separate part of its work is its photographs of “folk types”: peasants, highlanders, Hutsuls. This portrait of a beggar, known in Kraków as a dziad, was taken in 1866.

Narration text

Krieger stands him against a plain background, like a model. You can see every patch on his coat. The description of the photograph does not give the man's name, only what people called him back then.
