Z Podhorców przez Kraków do Wiednia, czyli wokół Dziennika podróży Seweryna Rzewuskiego z 1778 roku .......... 185

FROM PODHORCE VIA KRAKÓW TO VIENNA: ON THE TRAVEL JOURNAL OF SEWERYN RZEWUSKI FROM 1778

Both the factography and reflection accompanying Rzewuski during his semi-private trip
to Vienna sheds additional light on his personality and interests, and provides knowledge
about some aspects of the life of contemporary people. In the light of the Journal, Rzewuski
does not appear to be a typical traveller, but someone heading to Vienna for an unknown
purpose. Although Rzewuski’s Journal shows little mention of the political aspect of the
trip, it can be assumed that it was related to the intention of the Viennese court to establish
an Austrian party in Poland in the face of the war over the Bavarian Succession.
