EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to circa 1903, showcases a group of traditional countryfolk from Serbia proudly displaying their national attire. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and history of this Eastern European country. The women in the photograph are dressed in their finest traditional garments, adorned with intricate embroidery and vibrant colors. Their long, flowing skirts are accentuated by tight-fitting bodices, while their blouses are adorned with elaborate lace collars and cuffs. Each woman wears a headscarf, expertly tied to frame her face and enhance the overall elegance of her outfit. The men in the photograph wear traditional shirts, or "šajkanac," with wide, pleated pants, known as "šlapači." Many also wear vests, or "fustanela," which are fastened with large, decorative brooches. Hats, or "česma," are a prominent accessory for both men and women, adding a distinctive touch to their outfits. The group poses in a studio setting, some holding farming tools such as sickles, emphasizing their connection to the land and the agricultural traditions of Serbian rural life. Their confident and proud poses exude a sense of pride and tradition, making this photograph a valuable historical document and a testament to the enduring beauty of Serbian folk culture.
