Wieliczka Salt Mine Carving

[kringlecarver]

Greetings to all.

I am a woodcarver in Shawano Wisconsin (NW of Green Bay). We have been creating hand carved basswood figures representing Christmas traditions from around the world for over 30 years. By chance, I saw a picture on line today of figure carving in the Weiliezka salt mine. I am extremely interested in authentic folk history, particularly, pictures such as this one. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me any information on how to get some larger pictures of these salt mine carvings. Thanks so much!
