This print captures a poignant moment during the Balkan Wars of 1912, as Peter I, King of Serbia, participates in a traditional ceremony of breaking bread. The image showcases the King performing this symbolic gesture after being offered bread by the Mayor of a town captured by Serbian troops.
The scene is filled with historical significance and cultural symbolism, as it highlights the unity and respect between different religious communities in the region. As a Christian king breaking bread with Muslim citizens, Peter I demonstrates his commitment to inclusivity and harmony amidst the chaos of war.
