EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of Alexander of Battenberg, also known as Alexander I of Bulgaria, in Philippopoli to proclaim the union of Romania and Bulgaria. Taken from "The Illustrous World" publication in 1885, this engraving by French School showcases the political importance and impact of this event. Alexander of Battenberg was a prominent figure during his time as prince of Bulgaria from 1879 to 1886. His efforts to unite Romania and Bulgaria were seen as a bold move towards strengthening both nations' populations and histories. This print serves as a visual representation of his determination to bring these two countries together. The image itself is beautifully composed, with intricate details capturing the essence of the era it represents. The engraver, Stefano Bianchetti, skillfully brings out every line and shadow, adding depth and character to the scene. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Bulgarian history. It reminds us that leaders like Alexander I played crucial roles in shaping nations through their vision for unity and progress. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this remarkable piece continues to serve as a testament to Alexander's legacy while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on the power politics can hold over our world.
