Tygodnik Illustrowany (Polish: [tɨˈɡɔdɲik ilustrɔˈvanɨ], The Illustrated Weekly) was a Polish language weekly magazine published in Warsaw from 1859 to 1939.[1] The magazine focus was on literary, artistic and social issues.[2]
History
[edit]It is said to have been one of the most important and popular Polish magazines of the period,[1][3] profitable and widely respected.[4] It was particularly popular among the inteligencja social group.[5] It was the oldest cultural periodical published in Warsaw.[6]
The magazine was first published by Józef Unger; later it was taken over by the company Gebether i Wolff.[7] Editors included: Ludwik Jenike, Józef Wolff, Artur Oppman, Adam Grzymała-Siedlecki, Zdzisław Dębicki, Piotr Choynowski, W. Gebethner, Jan Robert Gebethner, W. Czarski and C. Staszewicz.[7] In 1909 its circulation was reported to be about 20,000.[8]
The magazine commonly published articles on history of Poland and Polish society, including archeological, ethnographic and similar essays.[3] It also published texts on the progress of technology and on voyages and explorations.[5] It serialized some novels, including Eliza Orzeszkowa's Nad Niemnem, Władysław Reymont's Chłopi Stefan Żeromski's Popioły.[5] Texts published in it are still seen as high quality.[3]
The magazine history ends with the German invasion of Poland in September 1939; the last issue was published on 3 September that year.[4]
