EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Costumes of Europe - Bulgaria (19th century)" from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the rich cultural tapestry of Eastern Europe during the 19th century. The image showcases the traditional attire of the Bulgarian people, a region steeped in history and tradition. Bulgaria, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has a unique and fascinating history that is reflected in its diverse and intricate costumes. The photograph captures the essence of Bulgarian folk culture, with its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and elegant designs. The woman in the photograph is dressed in a traditional Bulgarian costume, known as a "fustanella." The fustanella is a long, pleated skirt, often worn with a blouse and a sash. The skirt is pleated in such a way that it creates a full, voluminous effect when worn. The blouse, or "kemiyah," is typically embroidered with intricate designs and patterns, reflecting the skill and artistry of Bulgarian craftswomen. The man in the photograph is dressed in a traditional Bulgarian shirt, or "shalvar," and a vest, or "kamichka." The shirt is often worn with wide, high-waisted trousers, known as "sarafan." The vest is typically embroidered with geometric patterns and intricate designs, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Bulgaria. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of European folk culture, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions of the past. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of the Bulgarian costumes are a reflection of the country's rich history and the pride and tradition that continues to thrive in Bulgarian communities today.
