Paweł Sosnowski (1859–1947) was an outstanding Polish geographer, educator, and educational activist at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. He made his mark on the history of Polish science primarily as the author of extremely popular pre-war school textbooks and as a reformer of geography curricula.
The work was of a popular science and educational nature. It provided an overview of the physical geography of the Kingdom of Poland at that time (under Russian partition).
It contains numerous illustrations, engravings, photographs, and a color map.
