| DESIGN NAME: Catalogue of Printed Ephemera 1914–1918 PRIMARY FUNCTION: Anniversary Publication INSPIRATION: The cover refers to the image of various printed leaflets scattered. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The catalog contains 2588 descriptions constituting a rich and interesting collection of proclamations, announcements, orders, posters, invitations, leaflets from 1914-1918, in the collection of the Documents of Social Life of the National Library in Warsaw. These are mostly documents distributed on the territory of the pre-partition Poland, but also prints from other areas of the partitioning countries, supplemented with materials from the territories of countries inhabited by emigration. The most numerous documents originating from the occupiers are proclamations, announcements and orders regulating various aspects of civilian life, showing the mechanisms of the authorities: from organizing trade (including food and commodity tariffs, rules for the functioning of shops), through public order (cleanliness, rules of moving around the streets, observing the curfew), regulations for renting apartments to officers or representatives of civil authorities or prohibition of accosting and conducting talks with soldiers. There are also announcements informing about executed death sentences on spies and common criminals, arrest warrants with encouragement in the form of different amounts of financial prizes for help in catching wanted people and regulations for the functioning of professional prostitutes. Fleeting prints are of special value, in those days they were one of the basic sources of information for society, and at the same time the propaganda tool - reproduced in many copies - reached the representatives of all classes, being a kind of internet, radio and television of those times. These documents allows today's readers to understand the atmosphere of this important period in Polish history.
