Abstract

This paper presents three photographs featuring the German
language gymnasium in Pula and showing the building (now
the Archaeological Museum of Istria), the faculty, and the
pupils. They were recorded by French photographers of the De
Jongh frères studio of Neuilly near Paris during their time in
Pula in 1902. The Pula photographs supplement the already
copious oeuvre of the De Jongh brothers and the map of the
many European locations at which they worked in the period
from 1887 to 1903. This paper presents the first chronological
list of the (currently available) photographs shot by the De
Jongh brothers in Croatia and the broader Austria-Hungary
dual monarchy.
