Q: Gde mogu da vidim Lajkonik with his Entourage outside an Inn on Zwierzyniecka Street in Kraków?

The Ethnographic Museum in Kraków

This outdoor photograph on a gelatin silver glass plate negative was taken in Kraków by Walery Eliasz Radzikowski. Dated to 1898, it depicts the Lajkonik hobby horse, probably in front of one of the inns on Zwierzyniecka Street in Kraków. We see the Lajkonik in his old costume, before the introduction of a new one, designed by Stanisław Wyspiański in 1903. The Lajkonik is accompanied by his own band of musicians (called Mlaskoty) and a party of Włóczki (rafters), wearing the traditional costumes of the Krakowiak Folk, some of them dressed up as “Tartars,” carrying banners and pennants on long shafts. There is a standard bearer among them. A group of onlookers is also there. One of the attendees of the procession has an 18th-century karabela sabre at his side, in all probability an authentic one. In the centre of the scene pictured here, a small dog is looking at the Lajkonik. On the right, a man in a peaked cap, holding a cigarette to his lips, is gazing at the camera.

Walery Eljasz-Radzikowski: Life and Legacy

Early Life and Education

Walery Eljasz-Radzikowski was born on September 13, 1841, in Krakow, Poland, a period marked by foreign partitions that deeply influenced his life and artistic expression. He began his formal art education in 1856 at the School of Fine Arts in Krakow, studying primarily under the tutelage of the renowned Władysław Łuszczkiewicz. This foundational training instilled in him a strong academic approach to painting and a keen eye for detail. In 1862, he continued his studies in Munich, broadening his artistic horizons before returning to Poland in 1866.

Political Activism and the January Uprising

Eljasz-Radzikowski’s life took a significant turn during his time in Munich. While recovering from typhoid fever, he became involved with the Polish insurrectionist Rząd Narodowy, providing crucial support to volunteers heading back to Poland to participate in the January Uprising (1863–1864) against foreign rule. This period demonstrates his strong patriotic sentiments and willingness to contribute to the cause of Polish independence, even through indirect means.

Artistic Career and Diverse Pursuits

Upon returning to Krakow, Eljasz-Radzikowski embarked on a multifaceted artistic career. He served as a teacher of fine arts at local schools, including the Gimnazjum of St. Anne from 1872 to 1891, nurturing the next generation of Polish artists. His artistic output was remarkably diverse:

He painted church frescos, notably in Chochołów (1871).
He illustrated books and magazines, contributing to the burgeoning Polish publishing industry.
He designed historical costumes for theatre stage productions, showcasing his versatility.
He exhibited his works internationally, gaining recognition beyond Poland’s borders.

Pioneering Tourism and the Tatra Mountains

Eljasz-Radzikowski is perhaps equally celebrated for his contributions to Polish tourism. He was a co-founder of one of Europe's oldest tourist societies, the Cultural Polish Tatra Society in 1873. His most significant achievement in this field was writing and illustrating Ilustrowany przewodnik do Tatr, Pienin i Szczawnic (Illustrated Guide to the Tatra Mountains, Pieniny, and Szczawnica) in 1870. This groundbreaking work, initially featuring lithographs and woodcuts, later incorporated his own photographs, making it a pioneering example of a visually rich tourist guide.

Artistic Style and Influences

Eljasz-Radzikowski’s artistic style is rooted in 19th-century Realism, characterized by accurate depictions of everyday life, historical scenes, and landscapes. His work reflects the influence of his teacher, Władysław Łuszczkiewicz, particularly in its attention to detail and narrative quality. He skillfully captured the beauty of the Tatra Mountains, contributing significantly to their romanticized image within Polish culture.

Legacy and Historical Significance

Walery Eljasz-Radzikowski died on March 23, 1905, leaving behind a rich artistic legacy. He is remembered not only as a talented painter and illustrator but also as a dedicated educator, patriot, and pioneer of Polish tourism. His work provides valuable insights into 19th-century Polish life, culture, and the growing national consciousness during a period of foreign occupation. His illustrated guide played a crucial role in promoting the Tatra Mountains as a destination for both domestic and international travelers, shaping their perception and contributing to the region’s development.
