According to previous research, Jagodina is one of the first cities in Serbia where photography studios were opened. The first documented photographer to stay longer in the city was a foreigner, Franz Baubin, originally from Prague, who worked in Jagodina in the early seventies of the 19th century. After him, the name of the first photographer from Jagodina, Mihailo Đorđević (1851–1891), is recorded. Since three variants of the reverse have been preserved on which his name is mentioned, one of the possible and even very likely reconstructions would be that after Baubin, Đorđević was the one who worked as a photographer in Jagodina. The assumption would be that he started working at the end of 1874 or during 1875. Since very few photographs have been preserved, Đorđević’s independent studio did not work for long. Then the photographer EmanueloKlar, originally from Germany, arrived in the city, and the two began to work as a partnership until 1876, when Đorđević left for Kragujevac. Klar continued to work independently in Jagodina until the end of the seventies of the 19th century, and then he also went to Kragujevac. At the end of 1880s, Đorđević worked in the town of Jenidze-Vardar (today Giannitsa) near Thessaloniki, where he died in 1891 after a short illness.
