The study deals with the topic of Czech-Polish relations in the context of broadside ballads production (especially pilgrim) as exemplified by Orel’s printing house in Frýdek. The study focuses on the question of how the popularity of the pilgrim sites located in the territory of
present-day Poland (Częstochowa and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska) reflected in Orel’s printing house editorial-publishing strategy. The study also deals with the topics of the existence of Czech and Polish variants of religious (especially pilgrim) songs, Orel’s other Polish-language output, and the printing house’s ties to other printing enterprises in the region of Upper Silesia.
