- Abstract
The Erdélyi Museum in Cluj, the forerunner of the National Museum of History of Transylvania in Cluj-Napoca, was established in 1859, at a peak moment in terms of interest in national history. Graphic portraits are an important sample of collections and motivation is given by the desire to draw educational directions in the knowledge of the general public. Researching the old museum collections we note that an essential element in the Transylvanian educational program was the promotion of the cult of the great historical and cultural personalities of Europe. This trend is particularly visible in the graphic arts where in the 19th century lithography was required, which offered the possibility of multiplying the prints at affordable costs. Characters belonging to Transylvanian space, culture and history were preferred, but the graphic collections also enjoy important European personalities.
