1885 Beaten Bulgaria Bulgarian Crucifix Gloom Good Invading Kiss Return Sadly Serb Serbian Serbo Soundly Spot Wont
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant print captures a moment in history that is both heartbreaking and sobering. The image shows Serbian soldiers kissing the Christian crucifix before embarking on their invasion of Bulgaria in November 1885. Little did they know that despite their devout prayers, it would not bring them any luck in the upcoming battle.
The historical events depicted in this photograph are a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war. The soldiers, filled with hope and faith as they kiss the cross, will soon be faced with defeat and humiliation upon their return home. Their expressions of determination are juxtaposed with the inevitable gloom that awaits them.
As we look at this image, we are reminded of the futility of relying solely on symbols and rituals for protection in times of conflict. Despite their religious beliefs, these Serb soldiers were unable to overcome the strength and resilience of their Bulgarian adversaries.
This print serves as a somber reflection on the consequences of war and the fragility of human endeavors. It is a testament to the complexities of history and serves as a reminder that victory is never guaranteed, no matter how fervently one may pray or believe.
