Annemarie Heinrich Photograph Collection

This collection is composed of 4310 negatives but 191 negatives are missing, so there is information about 4119 negatives in this database. The collection contains two series. A series of 4282 6x6 triacetate negatives and another series of 28 9x12 triacetate negatives. Together they have been organized in 181 files. Gaps in references indicate missing negative images in the collection and only 2878 of the images have been digitised for the EAP project. Most of the photographs belong to a collection that is a result of the outdoors activity carried out by photographer A. Heinrich, who took her camera everywhere she went. Photographs show most of the trips she took between 1930s and 1950s. She tavelled in Argentina, Latin America and Europe during these years. The photographs she took in Europe have been included although not all of them provide pre-modern views. The reason for this lays in the ethnographic value of this stark contrast that can be observed through the eyes of this immigrant photographer who came to Argentina at a young age and returned to Europe as a tourist. The collection includes a variety of images of landscapes, rural life, city scenes, people and cultural habits, and abstractions. A. Heinrich treasured these photographs but barely exhibited them since she considered the public was more interested in her showbusiness portfolio.
