EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the First Balkan War in 1912. The image showcases Bulgarian women diligently working in the fields while their menfolk enroll in the army, dressed both in traditional costumes and military uniforms. This powerful illustration was taken from "Le Petite Journal" on October 20th, 1912, and is now part of a private collection. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of Bulgarian peasants during this tumultuous time. As war looms over their country, these resilient women continue to tend to their agricultural duties with unwavering dedication. Meanwhile, their male counterparts answer the call to defend their nation by joining the armed forces. The contrast between the women's traditional attire and the men's military uniforms highlights not only gender roles but also signifies how war disrupts everyday life. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience within Bulgarian society during this period. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captured this scene through his engraving technique, showcasing his artistic prowess and attention to detail. Through this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Balkan history - one that shaped nations and tested communities' strength. As we admire this print today, let us reflect on those who endured hardships for their homeland and recognize the power of unity amidst adversity.
