EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a glimpse into the lives of the people of Dobruja, a historical region situated between the Lower Danube River and the Black Sea, which is now divided between Romania and Bulgaria. The image, taken in 1908, depicts a group of people from the region, showcasing the rich ethnic diversity that once characterized Dobruja before the borders were redrawn in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The people in the photograph are dressed in traditional clothing, reflecting their Bulgarian and Romanian heritage. Some wear long, flowing skirts and embroidered vests, while others don simple, practical garments. The expressions on their faces convey a sense of pride and resilience, reflecting the challenges of life in this agricultural region. The extended families in the photograph are likely gathered for a celebration or community event, underscoring the importance of social connections in the lives of the people of Dobruja. The image also reveals the diversity of types and peoples that once inhabited this region, which was once a melting pot of different ethnicities and cultures. Today, Dobruja is a contested territory, with both Romania and Bulgaria laying claim to its history and people. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and rich history of this region, which has long been shaped by the interplay of different ethnic groups and cultural influences.
