Marco Marcovici (1873-1938). From 1901 until his death, he worked as a publisher of tourist and imagination cards in Brussels. In addition, he also published many travel guides, albums and booklets about events, such as the world exhibitions in Brussels (1910) and Ghent (1913). After the First World War, Marcovici's company also responded to the rise of the frontier tourism.
Marcovici's production was extremely large: he produced thousands of print cards, with images from all of Belgium. Marcovici's expenses are therefore an important source of the history of tourism and for the iconography of the country in the early 20th century. Nevertheless, there are hardly any archives or documents relating to Marcovici's production.
