KREKA UNTIL 1920. RECORDED IN PHOTOGRAPHY

Summary/Abstract: Kreka is a settlement near Tuzla created by the development of industry initiated by the Austro-Hungarian administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In parallel with the development of industrial buildings, residential settlements in Kreka were being built, known as Columns or Workers' Colonies. Simultaneously with the development of the industry and settlement of Kreka, recording of characteristics of Kreka began with phototechnics, ie. cameras. The first photographs of the Kreka area were recorded in 1894. The photographs show the industrial infrastructure of Kreka and the residential units in Kreka in the years 1894 and 1895. The basis for recording the Kreka area during the Austro-Hungarian administration is a photo album with photographs of Kreka and Tuzla, owned by the Skrobic family of Tuzla. The photo album was edited by Stjepan Skrobic, a construction engineer who has spent most of his professional career in Tuzla and where he has a legacy. Photographs were made in sephia tone, measuring 17 X 12 cm in a cartoon frame on a cardboard substrate, measuring 20.5 X 15.5 cm. Kreka photographs are also available at the Austrian National Library in Vienna and were recorded in 1898. The photographs from the library have very similar features to those of the Skrobic family, and were made using the same technique, in the same format.
