Independent Warsaw, 1925

This is Warsaw in the early years of the Second Polish Republic, a capital rebuilding its institutions and public life after the trials of the 1910s and 1920s. The walk moves from the Vistula's banks through the cafés and grand promenades of the centre to the crowded Jewish quarter of Nalewki and finally to the parks and palaces south of the city.

35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Warsaw as it stood in 1925 (“History of Warsaw”).
