Bolesław Prus Monument, Bronze monument at Krakowskie Przedmieście, Warsaw, Poland.
The bronze statue, reaching 3.6 meters in height, depicts Bolesław Prus as an elderly man holding a cane behind his back at Jan Twardowski Square.
The monument unveiled in 1977 stands at the former location of Kurier Warszawski newspaper building, where Bolesław Prus worked as a writer before World War II.
This memorial recognizes the contributions of Bolesław Prus, born as Aleksander Głowacki, who wrote the notable novel 'Lalka' about Warsaw society.
The monument sits near the intersection of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Karowa Street, with numerous public transportation options available for visitors.
Warsaw artisans provided financial support for the construction after the initial design proposal appeared in Tygodnik Illustrowany magazine in 1916.
