The monograph devoted to Radom’s Marywil has finally been published – a joint work by Marta Trojanowska and myself.
From the Facebook profile Radomskie posadzki:
“The book we have been waiting for (can you hear the sound of the printing presses?) is the result of a shared passion that nevertheless follows two completely different – though parallel – paths. Tomek is primarily fascinated by economic history, while Marta focuses on design and the culture-shaping role of industrial plants. In the monograph on Marywil, these parallel paths have fortunately intersected.”
From the Publisher’s introduction:
“We proudly present to our Readers another important publication of the Jacek Malczewski Museum in Radom connected with the history of the city. This time we offer the result of the meticulous work of two passionate regional researchers – an extensive monograph of one of the most important industrial plants in the history of Radom. One of the great values of this book, apart from the wealth of information and fascinating details about ‘Marywil’ (later the Radom Refractory Materials Plant), is its rich visual layer, which reveals, among other things, the beauty, craftsmanship and variety of designs of Radom ceramic tiles, known not only in Poland but also far beyond its borders.”
I invite you to attend the events connected with the promotion of the book. I also encourage you to purchase and read it, and to share your impressions after reading.
