The most beautiful, illustrated edition was published thanks to the initiative of the Lviv bookseller Herman Altenberg, who in 1879 commissioned E. M. Andriolli illustrations for the poem by A. Mickiewicz. The artist made 58 drawings on boxwood planks, 25 of which were to adorn the entire pages, and the rest to the text. 55 of them were engraved in the woodcut by the xylograph by Andrzej Zajkowski, the rest by Ch. Baude, F. Tegetmayer, and one anonymous engraver. The full-page compositions were printed on separate cardboard on a dark yellow tint (cf. G. Socha, "Andriolli and the development of woodcut - in Poland", Wr. 1988, p. 168). Cf. Banach "Polish Illustrated Book 1800-1900" pp. 453, item 788.
