Abstract

The object of the paper is formal and iconographic analysis of five funerary monuments commemorating: Stanisław Wroński (d. 24 Nov. 1874, aged 48), a Treasury commissary of the Siedlce Treasury Office; Kazimierz Woyda (d. 15 May 1877, aged 65), mayor of the city of Warsaw, Aleksander Ławrynowicz (d. 2 May 1879, aged 70), director of the office of the Chamber of Audit, both located at the Powązki Cemetery, of Wilhelm Thiel (d. 20 Sept. 1882, aged 43), a master baker, and spouses, Mr and Mrs Huhle, Elżbieta (d. 17 May 1841, aged 49) and Jan Piotr (d. 27 Jan. 1847, aged 61), buried at the Evangelical Lutheran cemetery at Młynarska Street in Warsaw. All of these monuments were modelled on designs by the Württemberg architects: Wilhelm Bäumer (1829–1895) and Conrad Dollinger (1840–1925) published in the Gewerbehalle, a journal dealing with various disciplines of industrial design. Its founders and first editors were the architect Wilhelm Bäumer and draughtsman Julius Schnorr. The monthly magazine, printed in Stuttgart in the publishing house of J. Engelhorn, appeared from 1863 to 1893.
