EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard depicts the heroic figure of Piotrowiezowa, a Polish patriot and fighter in the January Insurrection of 1863, which took place in Lodz, Poland. The insurrection was an uprising against the Russian rule, and Piotrowiezowa, a member of the House of Michaels, became a symbol of Polish resistance and bravery. In this image, Piotrowiezowa is shown in the heat of battle, swinging a bill hook with a determined expression on her face. Surrounded by Polish soldiers, she stands tall and ready to defend her homeland against the advancing Russian troops. Her hand is raised, as if giving a command or a call to arms, inspiring her comrades to follow her lead. The scene is one of intense combat, with smoke rising in the background and the sound of gunfire and clashing swords filling the air. The Polish soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are focused and determined, their faces set with resolve. The Russians, on the other hand, are depicted as disorganized and chaotic, with some falling to the ground and others retreating in fear. This postcard is a powerful reminder of the heroism and sacrifices made by the Polish people during the January Insurrection. Piotrowiezowa, with her courage and leadership, became a symbol of Polish resistance and a source of inspiration for future generations. The image captures the spirit of the insurrection, a moment of patriotic fervor and determination in the face of overwhelming odds.
