“The core of the whole exhibition, its brain and central station of culture”. The book at the Polish General Exhibition
Abstract
Na Powszechnej Wystawie Krajowej w Poznaniu (16 maja – 30 września
1929), będącej podsumowaniem dorobku dziesięciu lat istnienia niepodległej
Polski w dziedzinie gospodarczej, społecznej i kulturalnej, nie zabrakło zagadnień
związanych z szeroko pojętym tematem książki. Była ona obecna i widoczna w wielu
pawilonach wystawowych (np. instytucji kulturalno-oświatowych, wychowania
fizycznego, pracy kobiet, oświaty rolniczej i kultury wsi, w dziale bibliotek w Pałacu
Rządowym), ale w dwóch miejscach eksponowano ją w sposób szczególny. W dziale
Piękna Książka mieszczącym się w Pałacu Sztuki położono nacisk na zewnętrzną
szatę książki i pokazano prace artystów grafików, wydawców, drukarzy i introligatorów.
W pawilonie Prasa i Książka, zaprojektowanym przez Rogera Sławskiego,
obok stoisk redakcji różnych tytułów prasowych umieszczono stoiska 20 wydawców
książek z całej Polski (takich jak Gebethner i Wolff, M. Arct, Zakład Narodowy
im. Ossolińskich, „Książnica-Atlas”, Drukarnia i Księgarnia Św. Wojciecha). Poznań
przez kilka dni był ponadto stolicą polskiej książki – do miasta zjechali również miłośnicy
książki i ludzie zawodowo z nią związani. W dniach 29 maja – 2 czerwca 1929
roku odbyły się II Zjazd Bibliotekarzy Polskich i IV Zjazd Bibliofilów Polskich, połączone
z jubileuszem stulecia istnienia Biblioteki Raczyńskich i stulecia pierwszego
wydawnictwa Biblioteki Kórnickiej.
The Polish General Exhibition, which was held in Poznań between May 16 and September 30, 1929) and summarized the economic, social and cultural achievements of independent Poland following the ten years of its existence, also included a number of manifestations that related to the broadly understood subject of books. This was particularly visible in a large number of exhibition sites (pavilions) (e.g. those of cultural and educational institutions, physical education centres, women’s and agricultural education institutions and in the library section of the Government Palace). However, two exhibition sites were particularly involved in the promotion of books. In the department of Beautiful Book, housed in the Palace of Arts, a particular attention was given to the presentation of the external appearance of the book and development of book design. The department featured works of a number of artists, art editors, publishers, printmakers and bookbinders. In the Press and Book pavilion, designed by Roger Sławski, next to the stalls presenting different editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, stalls of 20 publishers from all over Poland displayed their books (Gebethner i Wolff, M. Arct, Zakład Narodowy im. Ossolińskich, “Książnica-Atlas” and Drukarnia i Księgarnia Św. Wojciecha, among others). As a result, throughout a few days Poznań was a capital of Polish book when the city became a meeting point for book lovers and people professionally involved in book trade and publishing. Between May 29 and June 2, 1929, the 2nd. Convention of Polish Librarians and the 4th. Convention of Polish Book Lovers were held, accompanied by the centenary celebrations of the Raczyński Library and the first publishing house of the Kórnik Library.
