Abstract:
World War I (1914-1918) is the third war fought from the beginning of the XXth century in which Bulgarian people participate in order to achieve their national unification. The Ministry of War of the Tsardom of Bulgaria takes good care of a better coverage of the military operations by using the advances in technique and technology at the time. As the war photographers are not always able to reach the front line and cover the key moments in the operations of the Bulgarian army, war painters are also mobilized. Among them is the "father" of the Bulgarian caricature Alexander Bozhinov who is also sent to the front. The present article represents his war works published in Otechestvo magazine during World War I.
Description:
Първата световна война (1914-1918) е трета война за национално обединение на българския народ от началото на ХХ век. Министерството на войната в Царство България полага грижи за по-доброто документиране на бойните действия в периодичния печат като използва напредъка на техниката и технологиите. Тъй като военните фотографи не могат винаги да достигнат до "първа линия" и да отразяват ключовите моменти от сраженията на българската войска, са мобилизирани и военни художници. Сред тях, на фронта е и бащата на българската карикатура – Александър Божинов. Настоящата статия представя неговото военно творчество, публикувано в списание "Отечество" по време на Първата световна война.
