Dr. Gumowski (1881-1974) was a historian from Torun, a well-known heraldicist. The front cover is drawn by Van der Laars, who also designed the Dutch and Belgian albums. Although he is mentioned as the designer of the Polish arms in a letter, the style of the Polish arms is rather different from the Dutch or Belgian ones. | ||
The album is mentioned as part one (Zeszyt I). More issues were planned with personal arms, but never published. Part one contains 284 arms of towns, (historical) districts, dioceses etc. No personal arms were included, see index below for the list of towns and regions. | The album is mentioned as part one (Zeszyt I).
