photographic Albums
We are fortunate to be able to enter the Gunzburgs’ world through many hundreds of images that have survived the vagaries of history. These photograph albums, assembled from family archives, represent a fascinating visual journey through time, and the amateur snapshots and professional studies they contain offer a unique record of the past.
The album “Horace and Anna de Gunzburg” traces the life of the Gunzburg family from 1850–1900 and is an exceptional visual testimony to a period when photography was in its infancy.
The album “Life and lifestyle” offers a glimpse of the elegant world in which they lived.
The album « Far Eastern Russia » is a collection of photographs taken by the young Pierre de Gunzburg (later de Gunzbourg) during his journey through Siberia to the Far East at the beginning of the 20th century.
The album “First World War” reveals the breadth of the family’s involvement in the conflict, with Gunzburgs fighting as young officers in allied armies on all of the war’s fronts.
