Abrasions of binding, rust spots on pages in places, otherwise good condition. Aleksander Zabierzowski (1818-1870) - Polish architect. Preparing to become an architect, he worked for 3 years under Antonio Corazzi in Warsaw. Then he went to Italy and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, and at the faculty of architecture at the Academy of St. Luke in Rome, from which he graduated with a silver medal. In 1846 he returned from Italy and was appointed builder of the Krasnostawa district. According to his designs, several country palaces and residential buildings were erected in Krasnystaw itself. In 1853 he was transferred to Radom and here began publishing the first notebooks on rural construction. After 1856, according to his designs, several townhouses were erected in Warsaw on ul: Wiejska, Warecka, Twarda and Orla streets. Very rare!
