Description

This picture by one of the most famous photographers of Lviv, Henryk Mikoljash, shows the appearance of the monument during the winter of 1914. A professional art photographer, Henryk Mikoljash successfully recreated the atmosphere of a typical, cloudy winter’s day. The technique used in the picture – rubber, was popular until 1914 and was fruitfully used by H. Mikoljash. On the left is stone building No. 8 in a state of deconstruction, soon to be replaced by Lviv’s "scraper", the stone building of Jonah Sprecher which the architect Ferdinand Kassler built after World War I. On the right is a piece of building No. 9. In the background are the Latin Cathedral and City Hall towers.
