EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of Serbian men proudly don their traditional national costumes as they gather in the picturesque coastal town of Kotor, Montenegro, in the 1910s. The men's attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of Serbia, showcasing intricate designs and regional variations. The men wear long, flowing shirts, or "šajkanac," with high collars and intricate embroidery. Over the shirts, they wear heavy, woolen vests, or "županke," adorned with elaborate gold or silver embroidery and fringes. The vests are often fastened with large, decorative brooches. The men's trousers, or "šalvar," are wide and baggy, with a distinctive pleated front. They are held up by wide, colorful sashes, or "šendi," that are worn around the waist. The men also wear heavy, woolen jackets, or "kurte," which are often adorned with intricate embroidery and fringes. The men's headgear includes tall, conical hats, or "česma," which are often decorated with ribbons and other embellishments. Many of the men also sport impressive moustaches, adding to their distinctive appearance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich cultural traditions and history of Serbia and Montenegro. The men's proud and confident poses suggest a deep connection to their heritage and a sense of pride in their national identity. The beautiful setting of Kotor, with its stunning coastal views and historic architecture, adds to the overall sense of timelessness and tradition.
