A Gourmet's View of Książ

Opis

A Gourmet's View of Książ. An album of Luis Hardouin's photographs, a chef who from 1909 to 1926 was in charge of the kitchen of the Hochberg family in Książ Castle, and likely employed by Hans Heinrich XV until 1932.

Książ owes its unique collection of photographs, miraculously saved in the family collection, to the Frenchman?s great passion for photography. There are images where the massive Castle is proudly ensconced in its verdant surroundings, and pictures of the massive Castle?s aristocratic owners and their staff. Hardouin?s camera captured Książ?s landscapes in every season of the year, the flora and fauna of the area, and photographed the Waldenburg (Wałbrzych) and Pless (Pszczyna)
