Gerald Howson recorded everyday life in Kazimierz...
The photos of Krakow, particularly of its former Jewish district of Kazimierz, were taken fifty years ago by Gerald Howson, who was then on assignment to Poland for the elite journal Queen, better known by its later title Harper's & Queen.
Report by Michal Kubicki.
The photographs were not published at the time as they were considered by the Harper's editors as too austere and true-to-life. Only a few of them were published in the Daily Telegraph. They are now on display for the first time. Eighty three year-old Gerald Howson came to Krakow for the opening of the exhibition.
