Dulwich Picture Gallery: The Polish Connection

In 1790 the last King of Poland commissioned two art dealers, who later became the founders of Dulwich Picture Gallery, to buy a collection of paintings as Poland's national collection. A group of the most important state portraits of the King of Poland are on loan from Warsaw to Dulwich. We designed the graphics and a sumptuous 48 page catalogue.
