The Photographs of Rudolf Bruner-Dvořák: Uncorrupted Little Turkey and Visitor Impressions from the Exhibition “Bosnia in 1905 as Depicted in the Photographs of Rudolf Bruner-Dvořák”

Summary/Abstract: Until 2007 it was not widely known that the historian Pavel Scheufler in theCzech Republic had in his possession a photographic archive containing over300 photographs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a large number of which weretaken in Cazin. The photos were taken by Rudolf Bruner-Dvořák at the beginningof the 20th century. These photos have brought a whole new dimension to ourunderstanding of life in Cazin in the early years of the last century, showingvivid depictions of life in the town streets and overflowing with constantcontrasts and symbols which contribute to the processes of identification anddelineation. In 2008, an exhibition of his photos was organised in Cazin by theCzech Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Visitor impressions differed, but allof them expressed gratitude for the effort put in organising the exhibition, whichwas deemed to be an indication of the continuity of the Cazin area.
