Aalto University’s and its predecessor University of Technology’s architecture teaching has for over hundred years included the tradition of measurement drawing. From 1907 to 2014 it was compulsory to prepare a measurement drawing of a significant building as part of an architect’s education.

A collection of thousands of drawings now belong to the Aalto University Archive collection offering an important archive for researchers. In early decades of 1900 drawings were made of medieval churches, later there has been concentration on wooden architecture.

In this album we are presenting all drawings from 1907 to 1919 in high resolution.

The art gallery Salon Strindberg (1898–1992) in Helsinki was known for its exhibitions of Finnish and international visual art. In addition, artist materials and tools, frames, artesanal products and printed images were sold there.

The gallery also made a popular post card series featuring studio portraits of the Finnish cultural elite in the early 20th century. The photographic portraits were made by the Atelier Universal, directed by the German-born photographer Carl Klein. 50 glass negatives of those portraits exist in the collections of the Finnish Museum of Photography.

Salon Strindberg tuotti myös suosittuja ateljeemuotokuvia 1900-luvun alun taiteilijoista. Kuvia myytiin postikortteina. Kuvissa esiintyy itsenäistyvän Suomen kuvataiteen, kirjallisuuden, teatterin ja musiikin merkkihenkilöitä.

The daguerreotype process was the earliest functioning photographic method. It was developed by two Frenchmen: Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and Luis Jacques Mandé Daguerre.

In Finland, the first daguerreotype was seen in Turku in 1840. The first daguerreotype made in Finland was a street view from Turku, made by Dr. Henrik Cajander in 1842. It is preserved in the collections of the Museum Centre of Turku. The daguerreotypes seen here belong to the collections of the Finnish Museum of Photography and are also included in the international Daguerreobase project: www.daguerreobase.org

Autochrome was the first commercially successful colour photography process. It was developed by the French brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière. The technique was patented in 1903 and launched on the market in 1907.

Photographers:

Reino Pietinen (1891–1921) was an amateur photographer who got his first camera at the age of 20 in Lausanne in Switzerland, where he had travelled to get treatment for his poor health. All Reino Pietinen’s three brothers also took up photography, and two of them, Aarne and Viljo, later became professional photographers. A great family of photographers, also dubbed the “Pietinen clan”; was born.

Maximilian Othmar Neuscheller (1862–1919) was a Swiss-born rubber manufacturer and amateur photographer, based in St. Petersburg, whose family had a summer residence, the Suur-Merijoki manor, in the Karelian Isthmus, from 1900. Neuscheller, who was into technology, took stereoscopic Autochromes.
