Bosnia. Pastoral peace dwells in and around Jezero, in the Pliva valley, where the winding stream, and its chain of lakes between that village and Jajce make rich grazing ground for large flocks of sheep, c1920. The Pliva valley is situated in the northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina and takes its name from the river Pliva, which crosses the valley with the river Janj.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Otto Holbach transports us back to the peaceful pastoral landscapes of Bosnia in the early 1920s. The image captures the idyllic beauty of Jezero, nestled in the Pliva valley, where tranquility reigns supreme. The meandering stream and chain of lakes that stretch between Jezero and Jajce create a fertile grazing ground for abundant flocks of sheep. The Pliva valley, located in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina, derives its name from the river Pliva which gracefully traverses through this enchanting landscape alongside the river Janj. In this snapshot from Geographical Magazine's Volume 2, we witness a harmonious coexistence between man and nature. A lone shepherd dressed in traditional attire gently guides his flock across the vibrant green pastures. His presence adds a human element to this picturesque scene as he tends to his responsibilities with unwavering dedication. This timeless portrayal encapsulates not only an era but also a way of life deeply rooted in agriculture and animal husbandry. Holbach's masterful composition showcases both natural beauty and cultural heritage against a backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountains. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how geography shapes our existence while simultaneously providing solace amidst life's complexities. This extraordinary print serves as a testament to Otto Holbach's artistic prowess as well as an invaluable historical document capturing Bosnia's rich tapestry during the early twentieth century.
