This print captures the momentous occasion of the Baptism of Boris I, as depicted in an illustration from Hutchinsons History of the Nations VOL 4 circa 1920s. The lithograph, created by John Harris Valda (d. 1941), showcases a pivotal event in history that took place in the Balkans. In this powerful image, we witness Boris I being baptized, surrounded by individuals adorned in traditional uniforms. The significance of this religious ceremony is palpable as it symbolizes his conversion to Christianity and its profound impact on Bulgaria's history. The scene evokes a sense of both battle and war, reflecting the turbulent times during which this baptism occurred. It serves as a reminder of the conflicts between Turkey and Bulgaria that shaped their shared past. Valda's engraving skillfully brings together historical accuracy with artistic flair, capturing not only the physical details but also conveying emotions and cultural nuances through his work. This print provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in Bulgarian history while highlighting how religion played a significant role in shaping nations' identities. Preserved within private collections today, it stands as a testament to Valda's talent and offers viewers an opportunity to delve into our collective past through artistry and storytelling.
