Sažetak
When I assumed the management of the Non-European Collection of the Ethnographic Museum
in 2015, the first query about the material donated by researchers Mirko and Stevo Seljan
came from Paraguay. Gustavo Glavinich, an architect of Croatian descent, inquired about the
book “El Salto del Guayra” published in Spanish and French by the Seljan brothers in 1905 in
Buenos Aires. The book follows their journey from Asunción to the Guairá Falls, located on the
border between Paraguay and Brazil, that no longer exist due to the construction of a hydroelectric
plant. Glavinich heard about it in 2000s in Asunción, when Mario Saletto and Jasna Ferluga
were there to film the series “In the Footsteps of the Seljan Brothers”. The volume provided him
with valuable information about the time when the Seljan brothers visited the area, while his
colleague from the Faculty of Architecture used several photos in a monograph on the architecture
of the Guaraní people.
