EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Brigandage in Bulgaria" takes us back to a tumultuous period in history. Created by the talented Johann Nepomuk Schonberg, this print captures the essence of crime and lawlessness that plagued Bulgaria during the late 19th century. The scene depicted is one of an ambush on the Serbian frontier, where unsuspecting travelers fall victim to a group of notorious brigands. The criminals, captured in vivid detail, are shown as unwelcome visitors who thrive on stealing from innocent people. Their menacing presence serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those traversing through these treacherous lands. Through intricate lines and masterful shading techniques, Schonberg skillfully portrays the rugged terrain of Bulgaria while emphasizing the desperation and audacity of these brigands. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 14th, 1888 – shedding light on an ongoing issue that demanded attention at the time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported into a world filled with danger and uncertainty. It serves as both a testament to human resilience and a stark reminder of our capacity for criminality. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from their private collection so that future generations can appreciate its artistic brilliance while reflecting upon an era marked by rampant brigandage in Bulgaria.
