Sažetak
The legacy of the violinist, conductor, composer, organist and pedagogue Gjuro Eisenhuth (1841—1891) is currently kept in the archive of the Croatian Music Institute in Zagreb. The contents of this personal fund have not been used since they had been received and are thus preserved in an impeccable state, as originally deposited. The legacy consists of 182 of Eisenhuth’s compositions kept in four books, two photo albums consisting of 144 photographs, a folder with 20 acknowledgments and 12 concert posters, a composition by another author (written as a tribute to Eisenhuth) and five albums with 453 postcards. Two photo albums and five albums of postcards contain a vast number of photographs and postcards dating from the second half of 19th century up until the early years of 20th century. The individuals depicted are for the most part members of the Eisenhuth family, his contemporaries and friends from the artistic community as well as key figures of Zagreb’s cultural and/or musical scene from the edge of the centuries. Furthermore, famous singers, conductors, actors, directors and dancers were all immortalized in established Croatian and Austro-Hungarian photographic ateliers of the day, such as the brothers Varga, Ivan Standl, Antonija Kulčar and Herman Fickert from Zagreb, Leopold Bude from Graz, Reuter & Pokorny from Vienna, and several court photographers. Hence, the preserved photographs and postcards hold a great value not necessarily from the standpoint of music history, but from the standpoints of art history and photography respectively. This article presents selected portraits of the Croatian cultural elite from the fin de siècle and a list of all photographed persons who are identifi ed as well as the list of all photographic ateliers. Eisenhuth’s complete legacy is stored in the archives of the Croatian Music Institute and is available digitally in the library of the said institution.
