Publication of Bulgarian Post Cards in Germany

Summary/Abstract: The academic interpretation and evaluation of post cards in Bulgaria is in an initial stage. The uses of iconographic models for their reproduction are an important research subject which is of importance not only for revealing their essence but also for the establishment of the ties between Bulgarian and Germany. The aim of the research is to mark and introduce in academic circles the names of some major German publishers and printers that have taken part in the publication of Bulgarian post cards on the borderline of the 19th – 20th century . The article is an attempt to characterize their contribution for the documentation and visual inter- pretation of modern Sofia. Examined are a number of concrete iconographic models that have circulated as initial images in Bulgarian and German post cards . In this way the author traces the mastering of concrete images of moder- nity in particular and in a wider aspect – the cultural interrelations between the countries that have produced this polygraph product .
