Abstract

This photo essay is based on a poetic narrative about Polish post-war photography, which was published in 1946 in the Stolica [The Capital] magazine. The text presents in a detailed way authentic, archival photographs presented originally in this journal. Therefore, the article displays a varied range of photographic compositions created both by famous and unknown photographers. The specific structure of this photo essay was inspired by one of the short novels written by Julio Cortázar, where narrative escaped temporal linearity.
