Fényképek mint a társadalom kor-képe, 1900‒1944: (A Móra Ferenc Múzeum fényképgyűjteménye alapján)

For my paper I selected photographs of social movements and political elections taken by photographers from Szeged. These pictures have been mainly chosen from the 20th century’s photographers, especially relating to József Sipos’s research interests. Therefore, I use the photos of Emil Keglovich, the Auer family (Hungarian glasshouse; Auer brothers; Lajos Auer; Auer) and Béla Liebmann. The focus was on elections, boulevards, social events (laying of the foundation stone of the university, inauguration of the Dóm Square, Levente days, funerals). I intend to analyse these pictures by using the contemporary press publications with different orientations. The topics concern the election of Dezső Bánffy as ambassador, the takeover of Miklós Horthy’s house regiment, the visits of Klebelsberg and Horthy in Szeged, the funeral of Gyula Verhovay (Christian-nationalist representative), the recordings of the Levente days at the great border of Szeged, the queues of the First World War, the military hospitals in Szeged, and the significant social and political events of the 1920s’, 1930s’ and 1940s’.
