EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Bulgarian soldier indulging in the ancient tradition of smoking a Hookah in the 19th century. The soldier is depicted sitting comfortably, puffing on the ornate waterpipe with an air of relaxation and contemplation. His uniform and weaponry hint at a time long past, when soldiers relied on defensive weapons like rifles and bayonets for protection.
The intricate details of the soldier's attire and surroundings provide a glimpse into Bulgarian history during this era. The hookah, also known as nargileh or shisha, adds an exotic touch to the scene, showcasing the cultural diversity of Bulgaria.
As tobacco smoke swirls around him, one can almost imagine the soldier lost in thought amidst the chaos of battle or perhaps reminiscing about home. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when smoking was not only common but also considered fashionable.
This historical photograph from El Mundo en la Mano pub. 1875 offers a rare glimpse into everyday life for Bulgarian soldiers in the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how traditions like smoking hookah have stood the test of time, connecting us to our past while sparking curiosity about what life was like centuries ago.
