Abstract
Album of autographs of signatories and others present at the signing of the Treaty of Riga, 1921, presumably kept by a member of the Polish delegation who participated in the Polish-Soviet peace treaty negotiations. The Treaty of Riga was signed on 18 March 1921 in Riga, Latvia, ending the Polish-Soviet War (1919-1920) and establishing the Soviet-Polish borders. The album contains signatures, remarks, and notes of Polish and Soviet participants as well as some Latvian personalities.
