This exhibition wants to pay tribute to Mur both for his artistic qualities and for his task of documenting the historical moment, which shows a St. Feliu disappeared and allows us to see what society, the city and the natural environments were like in the 1920s. The images in the exhibition come from the same Municipal Archive of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, and also part of INSPAI, the Image Center of the Diputació de Girona. It should be remembered that Ricard Mur was a photographer of the first half of the 20th century known for his portraits of the landscape, customs and people; and also for the production and edition of the famous postcards.
