His exact birth year is unclear with some references citing 1853, while others cite 1855. In 1865, the adventurous boy ran away from his family to St. Petersburg, Russian Empire. The reasons prompting the boy to choose Russia out of all possible destinations are as yet unknown. After arriving in St. Petersburg, Bulla started to work as a delivery-boy in the Dupant firm that made and sold photography supplies. Soon his responsibilities included handmaking (coating and sensitizing) of the photographic glass negative plates. At the age of twenty, Bulla opened a small factory producing \"momentary dry bromine-gelatin plates\". Buying the ready-made photographic materials was much more convenient than handmaking their own and soon Bulla's plates became popular, selling not only in St.Petersburg, but across the whole Russian Empire. In February 1876, Bulla requested his naturalization and in July 1876, became a citizen of the Russian Empire. In 1875, Bulla opened his first photographic studio at 61 Garden Street, and soon became a fashionable photographer. For ten years he worked there doing pavilion portrait photography. Then, in 1886, he received the permit from the St.Petersburg Police, allowing him to take pictures everywhere. While he did not abandon studio photography (in fact he opened two more studios: on the Catherine Canal and on Nevsky Prospekt), he became more and more involved into photography of city life. At the end of the nineteenth century, newspaper printing technology allowed the publishing of photographs. In 1894, the Russian Department of Post and Telegraphs also allowed use of postcards. Both events significantly increased the demand for photographs. In 1895, Bulla ceased his production of photographic supplies and put all his energy into photography. In his advertisement he wrote \"The oldest photographer-illustrator Karl Bulla photographs for the illustrated magazines anything and anywhere without limits from the landscape or the building, indoor or outdoor day or night at the artificial light\". Indeed, he photographed everything and anything: Life of the Tsar family and assemblies of anti-government intelligentsia, stars of scene and manual workers, palaces and hostels for homeless, even such exotics as gay parties. Bulla was on the editorial board of many magazines including the popular \"Niva\". In the 1910s, the annual revenue of the firm \"Bulla and Sons\" reached 250,000 roubles. In 1916, Bulla passed the management of the firm \"Bulla and Sons\" to his sons, Alexander and Victor, and moved to Ösel Island (currently Saaremaa, Estonia). He lived a quiet life there, photographing the local ethnographic material and teaching Estonian boys the basics of photography until his death in 1929. After the retirement of Karl Bulla, his firm was managed by his sons, Andrey and Viktor, the latter a notable photo-reporter in his own right. He was the author of a series on the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War. At that time, before the invention of the telephoto lens, photography was a very difficult and dangerous mission. Later, Victor Bulla took photographs of the October Revolution and the Russian Civil War. He was appointed the Chief Photographer of the Leningrad Soviet. He took a lot of photographs of Vladimir Lenin and other bolsheviks. In 1935, Victor Bulla donated 132,683 negatives to the State Archive of Leningrad District. The archive grew and now consists of more than 200,000 negatives of works by Karl Bulla and his sons. All the photographs in the archive are in the public domain and are a favourite source of illustrations of life in St. Petersburg. In 1938, during the Great Purge, he was arrested, accused of being a German spy and shot. The life of Andrey Bulla also ended tragically. He was arrested in the early 1930s and sent to White Sea-Baltic Canal labour camps, returning after five years and soon dying.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46121960276245,"sku":"EU14509","price":545.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/dd_3998.jpg?v=1737044282"},{"product_id":"russia-imperial-a-studio-portrait-photograph-of-a-military-band-c1905-eu14510","title":"Russia Imperial.
