EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a significant moment in history - the abdication of Alexander of Battenberg, also known as Prince Alexander I. After stepping down from his position, he was met with an overwhelming display of support and admiration by the people as he left Sofia. The image captures the essence of this powerful scene, depicting a large crowd gathered around to bid farewell to their beloved leader. The artist skillfully portrays the energy and excitement that filled the air on that day. The Russian-inspired architecture in the background hints at Bulgaria's close ties with Russia during this time. As Prince Alexander I sits inside a fiacre, a traditional horse-drawn carriage, he waves graciously to his loyal subjects. Their faces are filled with joy and gratitude for his service as their king. This engraving is taken from "The Illustrous World" published in 1886, which aimed to document significant events and personalities of its time. Stefano Bianchetti beautifully captures this historical moment through intricate details and masterful technique. This print serves as both a visual reminder of Prince Alexander I's legacy and an homage to Bulgarian-Russian relations during that era. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this engraving stands as a testament to the enduring impact of leaders like Prince Alexander I who leave indelible marks on history through their actions and connections with their people.
