The author

The Netherlands is the country where I have been born and where I grew up, but for many years I am very interested in Poland and in everything that has to do with this country. During my visits to the country I learned to know its captivating and often tragic history, I visited beautiful regions, old and renewed cities and I experienced the impressing Polish hospitality.
Because of the wars that harassed Poland, many Polish fled from their country or were driven out of it. A number of them acquired a reputation abroad. Examples are Madame Curie-Skłodowska, Frédéric Chopin and Roman Polanski. Therefore their portraits are to be found on the stamps of many countries. This causes that the subject "Polonica" is very popular among Polish philatelists. Until now I couldn't find an Internet site about this subject, so I created one by myself.

This catalogue is far from complete and there sure will be a lot of errors in it. Comments and supplement are welcome. The translations into English and German were made by myself. I suppose their is much improvement possible.
