Photographer Joseph Seidel.

German born, Czech photographer Josef Seidel (1859-1935) trained as a photographer’s apprentice serving as an assistant in the Austro-Hungarian region eventually working for a company that produced photographic plates. By the late 1880’s he opened his won studio taking over the studio of photographer Gotthard Zimmer. He began a long career in portraiture, topographical and documentary photographs. His mountain views secured his reputation and he made is first panoramic views in the 1890s. He was a pioneer in the exploration of color photography using the autochrome process. His son Frantisek took over the business before his death in 1935 keeping it active until 1949 with part of the archive acquired and published by Orbis. Franz continued to work as a photographer in a state owned business.

Joseph is credited with taking some of the earliest views of Bohemia and making a tremendous record of the culture and people. The archives is currently being held in a new museum in his honor which opened in Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic in April, 2008.
