Abstract

The article presents the history of photomontage, starting from the 1850s. The author presents (sometimes very divergent) concepts concerning its provenance. Then she focuses on the notion itself, attempts to find its oldest definition, breaks down the term into its component parts and searches for the reasons for the great popularity of the photomontage in Poland in the interwar period. She repeatedly draws attention to inaccuracies in research on this technique, at the same time subjecting this fact to interpretation.
