Leonard Sowinski

[Poland] (b?/d?)

There are many references about this Artist in the Net, but unfortunately there isn't a single article about his earlier life and education...Leonard Sowinski was a worker of  PWPW, Warsaw ( Polish Security Printing Works).. he started to design stamps for Poland in 1925 and after the German Occupation he designed the first Occupation Banknotes , commonly known as " młynarkami" ...
