Comparative Analysis of the Preserved Copies of the Photo Monograph “The City of Karlovac and its Countryside” by Photographer Hinko Krapek
Sanda Kočevar
Sažetak
The album “The City of Karlovac And Its Countryside” by Karlovac photographer Hinko Krapek is one of the most significant achievements of Karlovac, as well as Croatian early photography. Since its release in January 1889 it has been praised by the Karlovac and Zagreb newspapers and its importance has been recognized by researchers of the Croatian photographic history. Its popularity was still vivid in Karlovac families in 1930s. This research shows that there are only five preserved albums, three in Karlovac (the Karlovac City Museum and the City Library “Ivan Goran Kovačić”), two in the Croatian State Archives and the Special Library of the Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture in Zagreb, while the copy from the National and University Library in Zagreb is lost. All of them are of the same size, with the same text by the history teacher Franjo Valla about the history of Karlovac and the photographed sites, printed by the Karlovac printer Dragutin Hauptfeld. The analysis proved that Valla had no influence over the sites’ selection or the arrangement of the photographs within the album. All the albums, but one in the possession of the Karlovac City Museum, have twenty-four photographs. Although they slightly differ by the final cut-out during the making of prints out of negatives, main differences concern the album layout – starting with its cover design, different texts of dedication, cover sheet and captions under photographs. Due to its final presentation, every preserved copy of the album should be considered a unique item of the kind.
