metal – bronze, bronze silvered metal
EACH weight about 150gr. (about 5.30 oz.)
Wincenty Pol (20 April 1807 – 2 December 1872) was a
Polish poet and geographer.
Pol was born in Lublin (then in Galicia), to Franz
Pohl (or Poll), a German in the Austrian service, and his wife Eleonora
Longchamps de Berier, from a French family living in Poland. Pol fought in the
Polish army in the November 1830 Uprising and participated in the 1848
revolution. In spite of his mixed family background, he considered himself a
Pole, so much so that he changed his surname to Pol.
He was interned in Königsberg after the fall of the
November Uprising in Russian partition of Poland. He enrolled at the University
but soon became embroiled in controversy, for his anti-Tsarist agitation. While
Pol was defended by German speaking professors, Peter von Bohlen and Friedrich
Wilhelm Schubert, he left Prussia and continued his exile in France. While in
exile Pol worked on his first poems in tribute to the heroism of the
insurgents, issued later in the set of "Songs of Janusz".
