OVERVIEW OF PHOTOGRAPHERS AND PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIOS ON THE TERRITORY OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIAL OF THE LEGACY OF MARICA VOJNOVIĆ IN VISOKO REGIONAL MUSEUM

Summary/Abstract: The photographic material from the legacy of Marica Vojnović from Visoko (1892-1982) has been part of the holdings of the Regional Museum in Visoko since 1981. The material is dated to the period from the end of the 19th century to the seventies of the 20th century. It contributes to the study of the development of photography, emphasizes the importance of photography as a medium and points to the emergence of photographic studios in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Based on the division of photographic material from the legacy of Marica Vojnović, the paper provides an insight into the names of 23 photographers and photographic studios that operated in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sarajevo, Višegrad, Visoko, Nevesinje and Zavidovići, and whose photographs are represented in the legacy. Among them are the names of the first Sarajevo studios, but also those less known to the public, such as the names of photographers Grimberg, Seraphine Sperling, Cabinet Portrait and Visit Portrait who came to Bosnia and Herzegovina as traveling photographers after 1876. The paper draws attention to the first academic photographers on domestic soil, their participation in foreign exhibitions as pioneers in documentary, reportage, art and film photography. The photographic material from the legacy of Marica Vojnović is an inseparable part of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s photographic heritage and its significance is manifold.
