Here's an idea: this the catalog of the National Library of Poland:<br /><br />http://alpha.bn.org.pl/search<br /><br />And here, as an example, is the catalog record (search result) for one of the books shown, "Zemsta szafy":<br /><br />http://alpha.bn.org.pl/search~S4/?searchtype=t&searcharg=Zemsta+szafy<br /><br />It does say "Il. Daniel Mróz" ("Il." = "ilustracje", graphics credit), which I know to be correct from other sources.<br /><br />There are a few gotchas: not every book might be in the catalog, also not every book might have the graphics credit listed, also sometimes the author of the art inside the book and the designer of the cover might be two different persons. But it gives you a place to start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-26093274490865924422009-12-11T04:55:18.668-05:002009-12-11T04:55:18.668-05:00Hi again,

I think Czech and Polish graphic design of the 70s is quite astounding, but I don't actually know that much about it (being so wrapped up in the pre-1940s).Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925546212345361041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-47294696801850302082009-09-10T11:18:44.221-04:002009-09-10T11:18:44.221-04:00great post -- admiring the work put into everythin...great post -- admiring the work put into everything hereJoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390241669325214942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-43440103430480206682009-09-10T03:37:00.059-04:002009-09-10T03:37:00.059-04:00great stuff... ludwik jerzy kern zemsta szafy comp...great stuff... ludwik jerzy kern zemsta szafy completely kills me!srodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863279056994309967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-46665949747540258902009-09-09T12:18:06.027-04:002009-09-09T12:18:06.027-04:00wow! i want to have them all framed on my wall!wow! i want to have them all framed on my wall!corduroy cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896903291926452525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-80555574512232127502009-09-09T10:52:24.816-04:002009-09-09T10:52:24.816-04:00Fantastic, I especially love the cover for "s...Fantastic, I especially love the cover for "stomatolog radzi".S.Lemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064818979582141230noreply@blogger.com
