The
Photographic Studios
of Eastern Europe |
The
"Photographic Studios of Eastern Europe" exhibition was
created in order to acquaint those interested in photography
with its early history, technically as well as commercially. A
brief history of photography will be presented, as will a
discussion of various aspects of the photographic studio
and family portrait. The exhibition will refer to, for the
most part, those studios that were once located within the
former Russian Empire. Also, the lives and careers of two
photographers are presented- one whose studio once stood in
the city of Vilnius, Lithuania, the other in Mariupol, Ukraine
- through a series of descriptive, pictorial displays and
historical perspectives.
The exhibition has been made possible by the many generous
members of the public, especially the Jewish genealogical
community, who have visited the Museum and found value in its
work. |
