Abstract
In the context of European amateur photography in the nineteenth century, this paper discusses the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the Zagreb Amateur Photographers’ Club and the earliest period of its operation (until 1898). Special attention was paid to the precise determination of the date of the Club’s founding (4th September 1893), which was hitherto thought to have been a year earlier. The paper further examines the organization of the Club, its photo equipment and studios, types of funding, relationship with the Art Society, the first organized appearances at exhibitions and its first members.
