view of Łódź from the South
Title
view of Łódź from the South
Description
This photo was taken in the southern part of the city. In the 1820s, at the site of the village Wólka, a new industrial settlement known as Łódka on the Jasień River (Łódka nad Jasieniem) was established. The photo offers us a view of the city as seen from the vicinity of Wróblewska and Wólczańska Streets looking in the direction of Polesie and Bałuty. The familiar church towers of the St. Stanisław Cathedral and St. Matthew's Evangelical Church are visible, and deep in the distance (on the left) one can espy the outline of the Pilhal knitwear factory in Karolew.
