"In this book found its image Ignacy Moscicki - man - scholar - Head of State. In a popular-scientific way, free from all the ballast of strict knowledge, this book tries to bring the citizen of the Polish State closer to the figure of "his" President. They are supplemented by a repainting of President Prof. Ignacy Moscicki in all eras of life and in all fields of work. The first illustration shows Ignacy Moscicki back in 1895, while the last one is from the summer months of 1936. In them we see Ignacy Moscicki as a man of science - as a great inventor, in his home life, as President, on vacation and so on. The illustrations alone give a complete image of the Polish Scientist characterizing him most comprehensively!
"Ksiaznica Polska" in Katowice published the book about Ignacy Moscicki with real reverence. The exquisite exterior - good paper - careful printing - the layout itself - and a whole range of illustrations make up a work that will certainly become the ornament of every Polish home - it will also certainly find its way into the hands of thousands."
