EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a traditional Bulgarian hunting party in the Sredna-Gora mountain range during the early 1910s. The rugged terrain of the Eastern European mountains provides a picturesque backdrop for this group of men, dressed in their finest hunting attire, as they proudly display their bag of freshly hunted venison. The mountainous region of Sredna-Gora, located in central Bulgaria, has long been renowned for its rich wildlife and natural beauty. Hunting has been an integral part of Bulgarian culture for centuries, with the sport being a cherished pastime for the country's noblemen and landowners. In this image, the hunters are seen posing with their trusted hunting dogs, their faces reflecting a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment. The small deer, skillfully bagged during the hunt, lies at their feet, its antlers adorned with ribbons and foliage. The men appear to be in high spirits, their laughter and jovial banter echoing through the forest. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of a bygone era but also in the way it highlights the deep connection between Bulgarian people and their land. The Sredna-Gora mountains have been a source of inspiration and sustenance for generations, and this hunting party is a testament to the enduring traditions and values that continue to shape Bulgarian culture today.
