Abstract
About the history of Spanish photography, there have been very few investigations carried out on the industry in general and specifically on the photography stores and their socio-cultural function, as well as on the professionals who launched this type of business. The Salvi family was one of the most enterprising and they managed several companies from the end of the 19th century until the Civil War in 1936. This study covers the professional and intellectual activity of the Salvi family, including the photo store Carlos Salvi Loscos founded and managed in 1887 and the magazine Instantáneas, created and directed by his brother Manuel Salvi Loscos in 1898. Hitherto unpublished data is provided on the history of Spanish photography along two main lines: on one hand, the social and cultural impact of the stores on photographic activity, and on the other, the purpose and importance of the magazine Instantáneas, among the publications specialising in the field, through the analysis of its contents.Downloads
