Album of photographs.
Amalia, the daughter of Ignacy and Hanna Thieberg, was born in 1846 in Lipnik in the Bialski poviat.
Fourteen years later, the family moved to Krakow, where Ignacy opened a photo studio.
Initially, she often posed for her father and as the only of five daughters, she became interested in the work of a photographer.
After the death of their father, the siblings inherited a reputable factory and a collection of glass plates.
Although the company was officially taken over by Natan, they managed it together, especially since the brother often took orders requiring departures from Krakow.
After Nathan's death in 1903, Amalia became the independent owner of the family studio.
She managed the plant until 1926.
While running the company, Amalia Krieger continued the work begun by her predecessors, providing a collection of plates for the needs of various publishers, publications and scientific magazines, illustrated press and for the production of postcards with city views.
Amalia Krieger took over the photo studio as a mature woman, which certainly had a significant impact on the nature of her work.
So she focused her attention on the very center of Krakow and portraits and reproductions of documents and works of art.
Amalia Krieger tried to stop the most important changes taking place in the city.
In particular, it documented old buildings that gradually disappeared from the map of Krakow.
Amalia remained sensitive to various manifestations of artistic life in the city.
However, she photographed not only the works of recognized artists, but also the creators of the young generation, including belonging to the Five Vlastimil Hofman Group, Tymon Niesiołowski and Mieczysław Jakimowicz.
The photographer also left a rich collection of portraits of individuals and groups.
Amalia also came out with a whole gallery of portraits of Cracovians.
Amalia Krieger died on September 21, 1928.
At the funeral, which took place on September 23, apart from family and friends, representatives of leading municipal institutions, including the Mayor of Krakow Karol Rolle, were also present.
After her death, according to the will she left, the municipality became the holder of clichés from the family studio.
