Sažetak

Jerko Šeparović Musa from Vela Luka left his home island early in life and was one of the first locals to earn a non-theological degree (law). He started a family in Graz, where he was employed as a postal commissioner at the Directorate of Posts and Telegraphs. In his free time, he was engaged in photography. Although he did not leave behind a large oeuvre, only fragments - photos of his relatives in Vela Luka -they still represent a significant photographic trace. This is because he is the earliest known amateur photographer from the island and because of the preserved photographs themselves. They are the earliest ethnographic testimony of life in Vela Luka at the very beginning of the 20th century.
