From Regensburg till Sulina and back. Photographic heritage of Captain János Eilingsfeld from the first half of the 20th century

Kincses Károly

The history of Hungarian photography has been made countless surprises for the present day. These include the oeuvre of the Danube Steamboat Company’s Captain as well. Johann Eilingsfeld, who bom in Mözs and died in Dunaszekcső, did not do anything than sailed up and down the Danube on different lines and steam tugs and took pictures. Meanwhile, the history happened around him. He photographed rakish boats, nicely dressed ladies and gentlemen in the happy peacetime. Then funnels and spars of sunken ships and battered down houses from Rusze till Beograd from the World War I. We have a real papparazzi photo too, on which the last, exiled Hungarian King Charles IV. and his wife the Queen Zita shipped into the English river gunboat. Whose that is not enough, you can see variety landscapes, castles, boats and people up to the beginning World War II.. All of these documented pictures in saved and savable condition are still waiting a bigger exploration and publishing in the Archiv Photo Collection of the History Department of Janus Pannonius Museum.
