    Abstract

    Lucjan Stypułkowski (1806–1849) was a close cousin of Adam Mickiewicz and, through my grandmother Stanisława Bender (née Stypułkowska) (1905–1990), he was also my distant cousin. The purpose of this article is to sketch his hitherto little-known biography, to organise and significantly supplement the information regarding the Stypułkowski family’s ties to the Mickiewicz family, especially with the “Bard”, and to recall the nearly forgotten works created in exile by this engraver, who collaborated with leading French artists in the 1840s. Forced to leave the country after the November Uprising, Stypułkowski went into exile in 1834. He settled in Paris, where he maintained very close ties with Adam Mickiewicz and his family. Stypułkowski created nearly one hundred works, which appeared in prestigious publication series and books. The most important of these was the publication titled “Les Français peints par eux-mêmes” (“The French Painted by Themselves”), a work of exceptional significance for French history and culture. It was published in 9 volumes, containing over 400 illustrations, more than 60 of which were engraved by Stypułkowski. The series was published by Léon Curmer.
