Summary/Abstract: Many details are still unclear in Hungarian historiography of photography about the date of origin and the awarding of Ernő Vadas's (1899–1962) famous photo entitled Geese. This study attempts to offer some clarifications of these uncertainties. Reasons for the success of “Hungarian style” photographs are also reflected upon by the author, who also shares current views on them.
