The first and second pages featured a photographic report from the editorial office and printing house of Mały Przegląd newspaper. On the second page, there were childhood photos: Janusz Korczak, Igor Abramow Newerly, and between them, a photo signed "Metrampaż of the Mały Przegląd, Izrael Stycki". 

What is this "Metrampaż" function? A "Metrampaż" is a printing house employee, a bit of a typesetter, but also responsible for the final arrangement of all the elements on the page. Their tasks included breaking columns, adding graphic elements, and organizing material in text columns and pages. Izrael Stycki prepared matrices for Mały Przegląd.

The "main" newspaper Nasz Przegląd had a circulation of 40,000–50,000 copies. The newspaper also published weekly supplements: "Mały Przegląd" "Our Illustrated Review" "Our Sports Review" "Our Entertainment Review" "Our Radio Review" "Our Economic Review" "Our Academic Review".
