The
initial idea for establishing the Chalcographic
Workshop was born in the early 1990s. It was originally
intended to operate as a print workshop, encompassing
all the equipment and machinery necessary for preparing
and printing the prints from the existing original
matrices of the Croatian authors of 20th century,
but also of the awarded contemporary Croatian authors.
The collection numbering 500 print plates from the
Department holdings represents the nucleus of the
Chalcographic Workshop. The establishing was announced
in 1994 by issuing the print maps of Menci Clement
Crnčić and Branko Šenoa, on the occasion of celebrating
900th anniversary of the City of Zagreb. The prints
for these maps were reprinted from the original
plates of the two authors at the Academy of Fine
Arts in Zagreb, in bibliophilic editions.
The Chalcographic Workshop was
established in 1997, after having purchased the
press for engraving as well as prepared and equipped
the etching room on the ground floor at 12 Strossmayer
Square. The Department Chalcographic Workshop
was officially opened on the occasion of 1st Croatian
Prints Triennial; this was a sign of introducing
a new concept and a new orientation in the Departmentcs
operation and activities.
