EDITORS COMMENTS
Do not sell the bearskin, Bulgaria," was created in 1915 during the height of World War I. The image depicts a large, white bear representing Bulgaria, standing tall and towering above its Central Powers colleagues from Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. Blood drips from the bear's claws, symbolizing the impending escalation of bloodshed and the cost of war. The bear's crown, adorned with a royal cap, further emphasizes Bulgaria's status as a monarchy. The title of the cartoon serves as a warning against the senseless selling of the "bearskin," a reference to Bulgaria's involvement in the war and the potential consequences of its alliance with the Central Powers. The image is a stark reminder of the human and animal cost of war, as well as the symbolic role that animals can play in political and historical discourse. The large white bear, with its wild and untamed appearance, stands in contrast to the uniformed and militarized figures of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. The blood dripping from the bear's paws serves as a grim reminder of the impending violence and the potential for devastating consequences. The cartoon is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of World War I and the role that Bulgaria played in the conflict." This image is a historical and symbolic representation of the political landscape during World War I, and serves as a poignant reminder of the human and animal cost of war. The large white bear, with its bloodied claws, represents the potential consequences of Bulgaria's involvement in the conflict and the escalating violence of the war. The image is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of this period and the role that animals can play in political and historical discourse.
