Newsnote: Vincentiana Purchase of the Week: The Polish Uprising of 1831

The Vincentiana Collection at Archives and Special Collections of DePaul University this week purchased a rare Polish card dated from the beginning of the 20th century. This card shows a young Polish Daughter of Charity nursing one of the wounded officers from the Battle of Warsaw in September 1831 when Russian forces invaded Poland to crush its rebellion against czarist authority. On 8 September 1831 Warsaw was captured after a valiant defense.
