Abstract
The exhibition The reverse of the city 100 years ago: photos from the collections of doctors Vladimir Ćepulić and Lujo Thaller, which we present in this paper, was held on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Croatian Medical Association (1874–2024). It presents a special view of Zagreb’s housing misery through the lens of social pathology with an emphasis on tuberculosis in the first decades of the 20th century. Our starting point is the collection of photographs from the legacy of the Vladimir Ćepulić (1891 – 1964), one of the presidents of the Croatian Medical Association (1935 – 1945) and Lujo Thaller (1891 – 1949), the founder of Croatian medical historiography and the curator of the Museum for the History of Healthcare established under the auspices of Croatian medical association in 1944. The aforementioned collections, which contain a total of 132 photographs, are recently kept in the Croatian Museum of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and
Arts. This paper aims to highlight their early appearance as a hitherto unnoticed segment of social photography in Croatia as well as their museological value as an acquisition of the first Museum for the History of Healthcare, founded in Zagreb in 1944 at the Croatian Medical Association.
