The Photographic Industry and Visual Worlds

This catalogue has been in preparation for over two years and presents the most significant acquisition of the Technical Collections of Dresden in recent years: the Peter Göllner Collection of the Heinrich Ernemann Corporation in Dresden, a unique collection in terms of cultural and technical history with more than 160 devices as well as around 70 further objects and a great number of texts. This catalogues aims to become the definitive work on “The Photographic Industry and Visual Worlds”. It documents a conference on Ernemann and presents a detailed catalogue of all the Ernemann materials in the Technical Collections of Dresden. The in-depth essays and the exhibits displayed serve to illustrate the special contribution made by Dresden’s early photographic and cinematographic industry.
