EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of travel in Bosnia during the 1930s, as a group of tourists enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride through the picturesque countryside. The image, taken in 1939, transports us back in time to an era before mass tourism and modern transportation. The rugged terrain and lush greenery of Bosnia's landscape are on full display as the tourists gaze out at the scenery, their excitement and sense of adventure palpable. The horse-drawn carriage, a traditional mode of transport in the region, adds to the authenticity of the scene. Dressed in their finest travel attire, the tourists seem to be fully immersed in the experience of exploring this beautiful and largely unexplored part of Europe. The horse, too, appears content in its role, its ears pricked forward as it trots along the winding roads. Despite the idyllic setting, it is important to remember that this was also a time of political and social upheaval in Europe. The 1930s were marked by economic instability, rising nationalism, and the looming threat of war. Bosnia, then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, was a multicultural melting pot, home to various ethnic and religious groups. The region would later become a battleground in the Second World War, experiencing devastating conflict and destruction. This photograph, therefore, serves as a poignant reminder of a time long past, when travel was an adventure, and the world was a much larger and more mysterious place. It also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Bosnia and the beauty of its natural landscapes, which continue to attract visitors from around the world to this day.
