Władysław Emanuel Lubomirski

He then went to high schools in Kyiv and at Tsarskoye Selo near St. Petersburg after which he worked on his estate, serving between 1858 and 1863 as a marshal in the Orsha county.

He founded also a hospital and established primary schools where he supported education of the children of his workers.

During the January Uprising he served (1863–1864) as a commissar of the voivodeship resulting in his arrest and exile to Russia.

In 1867 he returned and settled in Warsaw where he began to work with the Branicki brothers Konstanty (1824–1884) and his Aleksander (1821–1877) to set up a zoological collection.

He financed expeditions into Siberia, including those of Benedykt Dybowski (1833–1930), receiving plants from him that he grew in Warsaw.
