“Ilustrowany Kuryer Codzienny” (“IKC”) was the most popular Polish daily newspaper before the war. The Sunday edition usually had 250,000 copies, which was the highest circulation in Poland at that time. The newspaper was founded by the publisher and editor-in-chief Marian Dąbrowski.

The editorial office was located in the Spiski Palace on the Main Square in Krakow, and the printing house on Krupnicza St. Later, the editorial office changed its location many times.
