The page is from a Polish illustrated publication titled Czy Wiecie, Ze— by Henryk Archacki, dated July 17–20, 1935. The layout includes a large heading at the top with illustrations and text below. On the left side, there is a detailed drawing of Wawel Cathedral in Kraków, Poland. Beneath it, another illustration depicts a mountainous landscape labeled as the site of the Battle of Zakopane. On the right side, there are two portraits: one of Christopher Columbus with a note about his connection to Poland, and another showing a traditional Polish figure holding a pipe. Captions in Polish provide additional explanations for each illustration.
