Josip Pelikan je bil slovenski fotograf češkega rodu, rojen 9. decembra 1885 v Trbižu, ki je bil del tedanje Avstro-Ogrske, umrl pa 18. junij 1977 v Celju, ki ga je fotografsko tako zaznamoval. V Pelikanovi družini so bili fotografi kar tri rodove. Starša, ki sta bila po rodu Čeha, sta se s fotografijo začela ukvarjati v Pragi, ki je takrat veljala za fotografsko zelo razvito mesto. Ko se je v Trbižu pojavilo prosto mesto fotografa, sta se preselila v ta del monarhije. Tu se je mladi Josip pri očetu Antonu naučil fotografske abecede. Po materini smrti 1892 in očetovi ponovni poroki se je družina 1894 preselila v Idrijo, kjer se je sin začel podrobneje seznanjati z očetovo umetnostjo, ki ni zajemala le tehnike s suhimi, tovarniško narejenimi, ampak tudi z doma izdelanimi, mokrimi fotografskimi ploščami (kolodijski proces), ki so dajale fotografiji lepše tone. V letih 1905 do 1908 je znanje obogatil še pri vrhunskih mojstrih fotografije v Gradcu, na Dunaju in v Pragi. Po odsluženi vojaščini je na sokolskem nastopu v Brežicah spoznal dekle, s katerim se je leta 1910 poročil in v Brežicah osnoval skromen fotografski atelje. Istega leta je v Idriji pripravil samostojno fotografsko razstavo, s tem se je začela njegova uspešna kariera. Že dve leti kasneje si je v Idriji postavil novo hišo z ateljejem in se osamosvojil. Med prvo svetovno vojno je bil mobiliziran. Po končani vojni se je vrnil v Idrijo, toda zaradi nesoglasij s fašisti se je preselil v Kraljevino Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev, najprej v Žiri, od tam pa v Osijek. Po neuspešnem začetku v Osijeku je nekaj mesecev delal v Brežicah, leta 1920 pa se je za stalno naselil v Celju, v hiši prof. Jarca, katere se je z dvoriščne strani držal stekleni atelje bivšega celjskega fotografa Johanna Martina Lenza. Hišo z ateljejem je odkupil in tako je Celje postalo središče njegove fotografske ustvarjalnosti vse do smrti.
Josip Pelikan je že 4. maja 1910 dobil fotografsko obrtno dovoljenje in tako je 67 let predstavljal vizualni spomin svojega okolja, večino tega časa v Celju, sredi 20ih let 20. stoletja je svojo dejavnost razširil še v Rogaško Slatino, Dobrno in Rimske Toplice. Izobrazil je številne odlične fotografe, obsežen fotografski opus pa zajema vse pomembnejše dogodke njegovega časa; dve svetovni vojni, rojstvo in propad držav, v mirnejših časih pa se je posvetil lepotam narave – zlasti planinskega sveta. Ustvaril je portrete uglednih kulturnih delavcev, njegovi motivi so izhajali kot razglednice in reprodukcije v knjigah in revijah. Pelikan je tudi začetnik industrijske in reklamne fotografije na Slovenskem. Njegova obsežna fotografska zapuščina, ki jo po delih hranijo številne celjske ustanove, predvsem pa Muzej novejše zgodovine Celje slovi po izredni kvaliteti. Pelikanov atelje (glej referenčno točko) je edini v celoti ohranjen in muzejsko urejen v Sloveniji.

Josip Pelikan was Slovenian photographer of Czech origin, born on 9th of December 1885 in Trbiž, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and died on 18th of June 1977 in Celje, the city he marked with his photography. Pelikan's family had been photographers for three generations. They started photography in Prague, which at that time was considered to be a highly developed city for the photography. When a free space for the photographer appeared in Trbiž, they moved to this part of the Empire and young Josip learned the alphabet of photography from his father Anton. After his mother's death in 1892 and his father's remarriage in 1894, the family moved to Idrija. Josip began to learn more about his father's art of photography, which included not only the technique of using dry, factory-made plates, but also home-made, wet photographic plates (the collodion process), which gave the photograph a more beautiful tone. In the years 1905 to 1908, he further enriched his knowledge by studying with the top masters of photography in Graz, Vienna and Prague. After his military service, he met a girl at a Sokol performance in Brežice, whom he married in 1910 and founded a modest photography studio in Brežice. In the same year, he held a solo photographic exhibition in Idrija, and this is where his successful career began. Two years later, he built a new house and studio in Idrija and became independent. He was mobilized during the First World War and returned to Idrija after the war, but due to disagreements with the fascists, he moved across the state border to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, first to Žiri and from there to Osijek. After an unsuccessful start in Osijek, he worked for a few months in Brežice, but in 1920 he settled permanently in Celje, in the house of prof. Jarc, where it was - next to its courtyard side - the glass studio of the former Celje photographer Johann Martin Lenz. He bought the house and the studio and Celje became the centre of his photographic creativity until his death.
On the 4th of May 1910 he was issued with a photographic trade licence, and for 67 years he performed as a visual memory of his environment, most of that time in Celje, but in the mid-1920s he expanded his activities to Rogaška Slatina, Dobrna and Rimske Toplice. He educated many excellent photographers, and his extensive photographic opus covers all the major events of his time; the two world wars, the birth and fall of countries. In quieter times he often turned his attention to the beauty of nature - especially the mountains. He created portraits of prominent cultural figures, his motives were published as postcards and reproduced in books and magazines. Pelikan is also a pioneer of industrial and advertising photography in Slovenia. His extensive photographic legacy, which is preserved in parts by many institutions in Celje, and especially by the Museum of Recent History Celje, represents a true legend of Celje photography and is renowned for its extraordinary quality. Pelikan's studio (see reference point) is the only one in Slovenia that has been (as a museum) completely preserved.
