The text describes the church in Smolensk, the road that leads to it and the history of the church itself. The building in its present state was erected thanks to the efforts of the then church trustee, Franciszek Zabiełło. The church's furnishings are also mentioned, including paintings and a statue of the crucified Christ (Source: Tygodnik Illustrowany, Warsaw 1870, Series 2, T:6, p. 210, after: University of Łódź Digital Library).
