Collection of materials for the 1901 Lajkonik costume

A fragment of the minutes from a meeting of the Society of History and Monument Lovers of Krakow, regarding organizing the collection of materials for the Zwierzyniecki horse's costume. The outfit was to be developed by a Committee, which included Leonard Lepszy, Stanisław Wyspiański, Maksymilian Cercha and Klemens Bąkowski. The costume, for which a loan of 100 crowns was obtained, was designed by Wyspiański and sewn by Ms. Kopińska. The weapon and metal elements were made by Antoni Bąkowski.

In 1907, a postcard was published by the painter, Anna Gramatyka-Ostrowska, with a picture of the Lajkonik dressed in the costume designed by Wyspiański.
