"Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum

Young girls in folk costume. Collective portrait made by Iosif Berman (1892-1941), journalist and official photographer of the Royal Court, who accompanied Professor Gusti’s teams in almost all the village monography campaigns. One of his great qualities was the capture of the snapshots of the village life. There was also an unexpected portrait. Photography during the excavations (June 29 - August 18, 1930) from Runcu, Gorj, documented village in 1486, located at the foothills of the Vâlcan Mountains in Sohodolului Gorge. Under the leadership of Professor Dimitrie Gusti (1880-1955, sociologist, academician, politician, initiator of the Sociological School from Bucharest) a team of 60 monographers has researched here methodically and analytically all the areas of his life - cosmological, biological, psychological, historical, economic, spiritual, politico-administrative. Following this campaign we defined the Romanian concepts about the theory and technique of sociological monography that were later known, appreciated and applied in European profile research. Photography, cacherata on a cardboard sheet; information: region, locality, title (in Romanian, French, German), date, photographer.
