The album contains illustrations of battle scenes from ancient to modern times. Images which praise the glory of the Polish arms deserve special attention. The majority of paintings are NOT from Polish history.
The artist portrays knights and soldiers in the times of significant historical events. Extraordinary scenes retell the past anew thus evoking plenty of emotions and awakening patriotism. They imbue readers with pride in achievements of the past generations and grant a sense of being unique in the united Europe.
