Graphic Collection

This collection of views of Moravian cities and counties (lithographs and photographs) contains about 1200 pages. The collection was founded by museum custodian Francis Maurice Trappe, and was continued by Wilhelm Schram after 1884. In the 1920s, it was complemented with older stock by Bedřich Václavek.

The core of this collection consists of approximately 250 lithographs created between 1823 and 1898 of eminent people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
