Mária V. Kápolnás: The first photographers and studios This profession requires excellent technical knowledge and practice. Lajos Adler was the first to take up this profession, he worked in the 1870s and 80s. Thanks to his photographs we are able to familiarize ourselves with the former leaders of the city and with their relatives. It was common to see traveling photographers in Szekszárd. The summer was favorable to the temporary photo-tents, where the pictures were taken in the gardens or in front of a painted background. From the 1890s, photographers such as Gyula Futter, J. Szigeti, J. Árva and others using different techniques worked in Szekszárd. In 1910, Ede Borgula started to work and thanks to his individual style and strong advertisement, he quickly ousted his competitors from the market. The studio and the name 'Borgula' became a trademark in Szekszárd and Tolna County. However, studio established by Frigyes Nőger in 1920 proved to be a tough challenge for the Borgula family. Fortunately, the city was big enough to support both studios and as a result of their rivalry a number of beautiful pictures were passed to the posterity.
