Object:Studio portrait of a man and three women in folk attire
Description:Full length shot of three standing women in folk attire with headdresses with flowers and a man sitting next to them in traditional costume. Painted canvas backdrop, which creates the illusion of the scene being set in nature.
Comment:Verso: hand-written inscription [from K. Jireček]: "Slatina bei Sofia / Sopi Sofijski (od Slatiny)." The photograph is kept in the personal archive of Konstantin Jireček. Konstantin Josef Jireček (1854 - 1918) was a Czech historian, diplomat and Slavist. He entered the Bulgarian service in 1879, and in 1881 became Minister of Education in Sofia. In 1884 he became Professor of Universal History in Czech at the Charles University in Prague, and in 1893 Professor of Slavonic Antiquities at the University of Vienna.
