Story
Zeccuś is a dwarf with something to show you. In the photo he wears a pointed cap and a tidy grey-green beard, and holds a small tool with a textured head up in front of him, looking at it with the focus of a craftsman at work. He stands at pavement level against a rose-coloured wall with a glass shopfront beside him. Stop and admire what he has made, and then see how many of his neighbours on Świdnicka you can find.
History & Significance
Wromap.pl lists Zeccuś at Świdnicka 6a, about 212 m from the centre of the Market Square, without naming a sculptor or an appearance date. The name echoes 'zecer', the Polish word for a typesetter, and also Zeccer, a Wrocław network of self-service printers founded in 2014 according to a city business page; no source I found connects the dwarf to either, so this page does not claim a theme or a sponsor. The tradition behind Wrocław's dwarfs began with the Orange Alternative, a playful protest movement of the 1980s whose members painted dwarfs on city walls; since 2005 the city has filled its streets with bronze dwarfs, and there are now hundreds of them.
Inspiration
The sources do not say what inspired Zeccuś. His name resembles the Polish 'zecer' (typesetter), and he holds a small tool, but the link is only a guess and is not stated in any source.
