A new project is born! Next two years, my colleagues and I will enjoy the privilege to research and handle an amazing collection of 19thC photographs from Polna Municipal Museum, including this tremendous daguerreotype tableau 👇 (83 × 64 cm) www.udu.cas.cz/en/projekty-... | www.muzeum-polna.cz

It was such a great pleasure to attend the presentation of #MonikaFaber 's Festschrift last night; and not just because I owe her so much. Thanks to #WalterMoser, #AlbertinaMuseum, #PhotoinstitutBonartes and others who made it happen! (It was honour to contribute a short chapter.)

Yesterday, I was happy to present a paper on photographic counterfeits /1840s-1860s at the conference ucl.cas.cz/udalosti/trh... | Hope the audience enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the research!😀 Thanks to Katerina Piorecka and Martin Hrdina.
