Siekti toliau ir toliau: Apolinaro Rocevičiaus ir Juliette Guillon-Savioux-Rocevicius fotografijų archyvas

ENApolinaras Rocevičius was a Lithuanian who swapped legal studies at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas for Grenoble (France) where he studied the French language and literature. It was during these studies that he met Frenchwoman Juliette Jeanine Guillon-Savioux, however his relationship with the married woman was complicated. They could finally wed when they had reached 80, after Guillon-Savioux's husband passed away. At present, the LN MA has over 200 Guillon family photographs. The images taken at around twenty photography studios in Grenoble and its surrounds in the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries are probably the only exhibits of their kind in Lithuania. Pictures of the Guillons were taken mostly by photographers Lėon Pineau (Pineau photographie studio), Antoine Hippolyte (the owner of the Duc Jeune studio) and Joseph Andrė Degrange (the owner of the Degrange studio). These exhibits kept at the LNMA unquestionabily enrich the archives of Lithuanian photography, while images taken at different studios offer a deeper insight into France and photography in general at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries.
