- Władysław Łoziński (pseudonyms: Wojtek ze Smolnicy, Władysław Lubicz; 1843-1913) was an historian, art critic, journalist, commentator, writer, and collector. A member of the nobility, he was also a conservative politician. In 1862-68, he studied at the University of Lwów; initially he studied law, and later, history and philology. He worked as an editor for several Polish-language periodicals, including Dzwonek, Gazeta Lwowska, Dziennik Literacki, Przegląd Powszechny, Gwiazdka Cieszyńska. From 1871-73, he served as research secretary in the Polish scholarly society Ossolineum, also known as the Ossoliński Institute. From 1889-98, he was the leader of a group of conservative politicians in Eastern Galicia. In the 1890s, he was vice president of the Historical Society, chair of the Society of Friends of the Arts, and a member of the Polish Academy of Learning. In 1900, he was awarded an honorary doctorate of philosophy by the University of Lwów. Elected a deputy of the Austro-Hungarian State Council (Reichsrat), he became a lifelong member of its House of Lords (Herrenhaus) in 1902. In 1907, he was made an honorary citizen of Lwów. He was the author of monographs on the history of Lwów in the 16th and 17th centuries, studies about jewelers and art, patricians and townspeople, and local customs and everyday life.
