SARAJEVO KROZ OBJEKTIV FRANTIŠEKA FRANJE TOPIČA

Abstract

This paper discusses one of the most important collections of photographs from the Austro-Hungarian period by František Franjo Topič, a Czech photographer. This collection is stored in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A significant part of this collection are photographs of Sarajevo, around 500 of them, which are divided into thematic units and have a very diverse content. Certain places in the city are often photographed continuously, over a longer period of time, so we are able to follow the phases and changes in the development of the city in the Austrian period through these photographs.
