PHOTO LIBRARY

The photo collection of the Postal Museum of the Communications Museum Foundation is included in the register together with paintings, graphics and other fine and industrial art works as part of the image and representation collection. There are no images from the early period of photography in the collection, but the material from the decades before and after the turn of the century is even richer, since the Hungarian kir. Posta worked with the most famous Hungarian photographers. Among them, the names of György Klösz and Mór Erdélyi should be singled out, whose works form the most high-quality and numerically largest part of the collection preserved from this period. Among the chroniclers of the period between the two world wars are the photographers of the Postal Experimental Institute, about whom, unfortunately, we know almost nothing. The wide spread of photography can be clearly traced in the photo library. Amateur photographs are indispensable from a professional history point of view, without them there would have been years without pictorial documentation. After a long hiatus, photos taken by professional photographers are available again in larger quantities only from 1957 onwards. The employees of the Hungarian Telegraph Office have been working on orders for the post office for nearly 30 years. The reporters also appeared at the groundbreaking and ceremonial handovers of important new facilities and at the most important postal events. Their technical photographers traveled the country capturing the new post offices, telephone exchanges and the broadcasting towers that appeared in large numbers with the start of television.
