Moja none Katarina - My grandmother Katarina
Pretpostavljam da je ova slika snimljena oko 1914., s namjerom da je pošalje svom suprugu Ivanu, kad je stigao u SAD, nekoliko mjeseci prije početka I svjetskog rata. Uvjeti na Braču, tada dijelu austrougarske monarhije, prisilili su mnoge na emigraciju. Nona Katarina je ostala u Postirima, sa sinom Petrom, devetogodišnjakom i kćeri Barbarom (mojom majkom) u dobi od pet mjeseci. Katarinin život nije bio lak. Ivan se vratio u Postira nakon više od deset godina. Umro je mlad.
I suppose this photo was taken with intention to send it to her husband Ivan, about 1914, as he arrived to USA, few months before the WWI started. The conditions on the island of Brač, those days the part of Austrian Hungarian monarchy, forced many people to emigrate for economic reason. Nona Katarina remained in Postira with her son Petar, nine years, and daughter Barbara (my mother) five months old. Katarina's life was not easy. Ivan returned to Postira after more than ten years. He died young.
