Abstract
In 1920, Eduard Kuchinka from Vienna started a debate with Viktor Teißler from Prague in the „Photographische Korrespondenz”. The latter stated in London’s Penrose’s Annual that given his place of birth, Josef Petzval (Petzval József 1807‒1891), the famous lens constructor was of “Czechoslovakian” descent. Kuchinka showed that Szepesbéla, Petzval’s place of birth became part of Czechoslovakia only after the World War. The author from Vienna compensated the Czechoslovakian bias with his own German bias: according to him, Petzval was of German descent. The true facts are: József Petzval was born on the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with his paternal side being Czech (maybe Moravian), his spindle side being German. Any such claim of appropriation is unscholarly.
