TY - JOUR TI - Adam Karaś, fotoreporter krakowskiej niepodległości AU - Rybicki, Andrzej TI - Adam Karaś, fotoreporter krakowskiej niepodległości AB - Adam Karaś – Photographer of Krakow’s Independence Adam Karaś (1896–1986), photographer from Krakow, was owner of a photography studio at Szewska St., which was very popular among the residents of Krakow. He was also a documentalist of Krakow. In October 1918 he documented Krakow regaining its independence. He preserved the events at the Guardhouse on glass plates; the symbolic moment of the power takeover by the Polish administration and the first act of the newly reborn Polish Army. The first photos he published in the press appeared in “Nowości Ilustrowane”, a periodical which was very well-known for its discerning taste in photography. Negative plates and photographs of Adam Karaś made it to the Walery Rzewuski Museum of the History of Photography. Upon their conservation and preparation, they were published in a number of periodicals, shown at scientific conferences and in various exhibitions. The photographs of Adam Karaś of 1918 are exceptionally suited for such activities. Some of the photographs of Adam Karaś have become iconic; they illustrate anniversary editions, scientific studies of the events of 1918. The author of the presentation will also present the first media publications of Adam Karaś’s photos of the events of 31 October in Krakow. A critical analysis of these images will allow for a different perspective on the iconic images of 31 October 1918 and the following days in Krakow.
