“Look at our Motherland now!” The modernization of socialist Bulgaria represented in children‘s illustrations from the 1960s and 1970s

Summary/Abstract: The illustrations in many children’s books present the beautiful nature of Bulgaria – the blue mountains, the green plains, the orchards overflowing with fruit. However, these are the geographical features of the Motherland, which every generation has been raised to love regardless of the era. In the 1960s and 1970s, a number of transformations took place in the country that changed both people’s daily lives and art. Illustration was tasked with the important role of introducing children to the achievements of the socialist system, such as asphalt roads, factories, modern cities with traffic lights, and street telephones. Furthermore, the illustrations even open the door to the future, awakening curiosity and fostering ambitions for improvement in young minds.
