From the "Report of the Committee of the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts for 1915" we learn: "For the free premium for members for the year 1915, the Committee, after numerous deliberations, chose the drawing by Artur Grottger "Comet" and after presenting a lithographic print of one of the fragments of the drawing, made by the draughtsman Feliks Walkiewicz, at Cotty's lithographic establishment in Warsaw, entrusted this company with the reproduction of the said drawing. Mr. Walkiewicz fulfilled this task to the Committee's complete satisfaction" (p. 8).
