Thank you, Areta. I’m really pleased that this website highlights one aspect of the work of Arctic explorer Louise Arner Boyd. She was a very keen, largely self-taught photographer and her photographs from her book “Polish Countrysides” reflect her curiosity about the relationship between people and their environments. The original images from this trip are carefully preserved at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee and can be viewed online.

Many thanks for including these images taken by the American Arctic explorer Louise Arner Boyd (1887-1972). Her 1934 journey to what was then Poland was recounted in full in her book entitled, “Polish Countrysides” which was published by the American Geographical Society in 1936. Although it is now out of print, it is available through various booksellers. Those wanting to learn more about this remarkable explorer may be interested in my recent book. “The Polar Adventures of a Rich American Dame A Life of Louise Arner Boyd” (Dundurn Press, 2017) is the first comprehensive biography of Miss Boyd and is based on over twelve years of research and writing.

Do you have any pictures of the market and stores in that area!
