Sažetak
Historians dealing with the daily life of denizens of late medieval and early modern Eastern Adriatic communes almost regularly face various obstacles during their work. Historical interpretations of everyday life are based primarily on the examination of written sources, particularly legal documents, narratives, diplomatic sources, and notary records (last wills, inventories, private contracts), containing numerous and vivid accounts regarding daily life in Eastern Adriatic communal societies.The island of Rab is not an exception. Yet, despite the existence of rich notary funds, only a few visual sources from the medieval and early modern period of this Dalmatian island remain preserved, occasionally depicting some aspects of its inhabitants’ daily lives. However, there is a preserved collection of photos created during the first half of the 20th century (partly kept in The State Archives in Zadar and partly in the private collection of Josip Andrić in Rab) by a painter and photographer from Rab, Miroslav Maroević (1900-1975), representing the actual political events in Dalmatia, and most importantly, details from the everyday life of Rab’s inhabitants. Because of their contents, Maroević’s photos may be interpreted as a historical source for the period of their creation (primarily the period between the two World Wars), but they are also valuable as a source for the research of the processes of longue durée of the Dalmatian island and city of Rab.
