Photography - An Intercultural History

Summary/Abstract: ASTRA Museum is the administrator of an old ethnographical photographic collection; images taken between 1855-1920 by photographers that worked in the most important cities of Transylvania. They were impressed by beauty of traditional costumes, typical for different nationality populations who lived in this Transilvanian area. They immortalized people with smiling faces dressed in traditional costumes, different aspects from every day life, cheerful or sad moments, interior rooms and houses, schools, churchs. The study was based on our research in collection of images from graphic documentary reflecting aspects of rural life in different localities of Transylvania.
