“Černé jezero” (Jindřich Eckert, 1882)
On 28 February 1905 Jindřich Eckert, the most important personality of 19th century Czech photography and the very first Czech landscape photographer, died.
At the beginning he was mainly a portrait photographer. In addition to classical portrait photography, he also created complex allegorical compositions and "revived scenes”. The most important part of his work today, however, is considered to be local history photography, primarily because of its great documentary importance. As early as 1871 he published a set of collotype photographs of Prague. After 1881, he was the first in Bohemia to produce photographs depicting the artistic and natural beauty of Bohemian landscape. Between 1882 and 1884, for example, he created sets of photographs of Bohemian Forest and the Giant Mountains. After 1890, he also devoted himself significantly to photographing Prague, especially documenting places destined for redevelopment.
