Abstract:
The discovery of Jindřich Bišický as a first world—war photographer became a sensation. Nevertheless, information about his life and work are scattered across various resources (in the form of individual public relation messages for the exhibition, television and radio interviews with the exhibition authors, military historians, magazines and other periodic freely available online or in archives).
The first goal of this thesis is to consolidate all available information about the life and wok of the photographer Jindřich Bišický into one compact memoir. The second part of this thesis aims to put the work of Jindřich Bišický into a historical photography context of the first world war period, inevitably making comparisons to other world-wide photographers of that time. The last part will briefly introduce other Czech photographers of the WW1, that remained unknown until now.
Key words: Jindřich Bišický, 1st World War, war photography, Czech war photographers.
