EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Blessing Domestic Animals, Bulgaria" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of deep religious significance. The image showcases an English School's interpretation of a traditional Bulgarian ritual where domestic animals are blessed. In this scene, we witness a group of people gathered around as their beloved cows and sheep receive blessings from a non-Christian priest. The primitive nature of the ceremony is evident in the attire and demeanor of both the participants and animals involved. This comparative study between nations and religions highlights the rich diversity that exists within our world. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this ancient tradition, emphasizing its cultural importance to Bulgarian society. Through intricate details and delicate lines, every nuance is brought to life on paper. Displayed in a private collection, this print was originally created as an illustration for G. T Battany's book "Primitive Religions". It serves as a visual representation of historical practices that were prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of humanity's connection with domestic animals but also how rituals like these have shaped societies throughout history.
