EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment during the First Balkan War, showcasing a curious ceremony that took place. In this color lithograph by the French School of the 20th century, we witness King Peter I of Serbia breaking bread offered to him by the mayor of a town captured by the Serbian Army. The image portrays gratitude and camaraderie between the Serbian soldiers and their king. As King Peter I enters the conquered town, he graciously accepts an offering of bread from its mayor, symbolizing unity and shared sustenance in times of war. The scene is filled with historical significance as it represents not only the military triumphs during this conflict but also highlights cultural traditions within Balkan society. The illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on November 24th, 1912. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the importance placed on loyalty and respect within European royal families at that time. King Peter I's gesture showcases his humility as he breaks bread with those who fought alongside him. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both wartime experiences and acts of compassion amidst conflict. It offers us a glimpse into an era where even amidst battlefields, moments like these could still be cherished and celebrated.
