Ein Bildband, der alte und neue Fotografien aus der Stadt Salzburg gegenüberstellt. Die komplizierte Technik der Fotografie zur Zeit ihrer Erfindung eignete sich nicht für Schnappschüsse, sondern brachte sehr sorgfältig komponierte Bilder hervor, die aufgrund des verwendeten großen Negativformats bis ins Detail scharf und im Ton fein strukturiert waren. Auch von Salzburg gibt es zahlreiche solcher historischen Stadtansichten. László Lugo Lugosi hat sie genauestens hinsichtlich Perspektive, Schatten, Licht und Jahreszeit studiert und versucht, punktgenau den Standort zu ermitteln, den der Fotograf vor 100 Jahren eingenommen hat. Die historischen Fotografien stammen aus dem Bestand des Salzburger Museums Carolino Augusteum.
Documenting the city of Budapest through the eyes of two photographers who lived and worked a century apart from each other, this volume leads a fascinating walk through time. Recollecting the last third of the 19th century, this history is captured by Klösz György, who earnestly recorded the daily life of the Hungarian capital during this era. One hundred years later, Lugosi Lugo László followed in his footsteps, chronicling the same streets and sights in order to bring this unique reconstruction to fruition. This bilingual edition includes English and Hungarian.
The Castle District is Budapest's most beautiful treasure, but it reveals its many faces only to those who do not regret the time involved. The area's historical atmosphere is revealed not only in mansions, churches, and bastions but also in residential houses, narrow streets, even narrower alleys, mysterious courtyards, and intimate squares that speak of life and rebirth. The pictures of László Lugosi Lugo deal with the entirety by focusing on the smallest of details. This bilingual edition includes English and Hungarian.
