Summary
Based on of the collection of photographs from the heritage of Vladimir Ćepulić (1891-1964), one of the presidents of the Croatian Medical Association (1935-1945), our analysis portrays medical aspects of social poverty in Zagreb between two world wars. Ćepulić’s collection, which contains 13 photographs and is preserved in the Croatian Museum of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts was a starting point in our analysis of social medicine/pathology with particular emphasis on tuberculosis in Croatia at the beginning of the 20th century. The early presence of this vague collection in the context of social photography advent in Croatia was emphasized, as well as its museological value as the acquisition of the first Museum for the History of Health established in Zagreb by the Croatian Medical Association in 1944.
