Sažetak
Information about Daguerre’s invention were first published in Croatian just three months after the public announcement of the process in Paris, on April 9, 1839. The newspapers "Danica Ilirska" in Zagreb published an article about the invention of the daguerreotype process entitled “Najznatnije odkritje našega vremena” (The most important invention of our time). Shortly after that article, and after training in Paris under Daguerre himself, Zagreb merchant Demeter Novaković, took several landcapes of the Croatian capital and its surroundings. Over the next fifteen years, twelve daguerreotypists (that we know so far) passed through Croatia, making daguerreotypes in Zagreb, Rijeka, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik. The first and most famous of them was Johann Bosch, a representative of the “Vienna school” in daguerreotype, who was active in Zagreb in 1841/1842. Two years later, in 1844, a Dubrovnik pharmacist Antun Drobac took daguerreotypes, thus being the first known Croatian photographer on the Adriatic coast. Last of the itinerant daguerreotypists was seen in Zagreb in 1854, and after that year the first resident photographers took places in different Croatian cities. Today, only around fifty daguerreotypes are known to exist in the collections held in the Croatian archives, museums, libraries and private owners, so curators and collectors regard them as especially valuable photographic objects. Most of their makers are still unknown, and some of those daguerreotypes were clearly not taken in Croatia.
