| Summary: | In the article there is discussed the photographic material, depicting the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, as well as the periods before and after this major event of our interest. The base material for the key study is the "Ermakov Collection" kept at the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi, Georgia, consisting works of Ermakov himself and other photographers. Yet, this is the first attempt to contextualize the Collection in relation with the War and geopolitical situation between Russian and Ottoman Empires in the late nineteenth century. Photography is treated as a tool of military intelligence and with its later commercial and/or scientific meanings. |
