Abstract (english)
On the eighth day of October 1912, the First Balkan War began, in which Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Greece uprose together against the Ottoman Empire. Just a few days later (October 13), a duo of slightly unusual interests arrived from already warring Greece in nearby Bosnia and Herzegovina, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The geographer Jean Brunhes and the photographer Auguste Léon traveled through the Balkans, photographing different motifs on small glass plates filled with colorful grains of potato starch. Part of their travel equipment was also a suitcase from the workshop of the now globally popular Louis Vuitton company, in which they carried everything needed for the chemical processing of the material taken in the field. Both Brunhes and Léon were employees of the Archives of the Planet (French: Les Archives de la Planète), a grandiose project of creating “a kind of photographic inventory of the surface of the globe, as inhabited and worked by man, as it was at the beginning of the century”, and the glass plates were autochromes—positive color photographs similar to today’s slides, based on the Lumière brothers’ patent from 1904.
