Abstract:
The paper reveals and analyses two illustrations by the Polish painter Henryk Dêbicki (1830–1906) on the
Serbo-Bulgarian War, published in the popular Warsaw newspaper Tygodnik Ilustrowany in 1885 and 1886 and
unknown to Bulgarian scholars. The illustrations prove that Dêbicki, known for his previous cooperation with
Bulgarian revolutionary Hristo Botev, continued to work on Bulgaria-related graphics after the country’s
liberation in 1878. The author, however, doubts that the illustrator had experienced the war directly and claims
that despite being referred to as the paper’s special correspondent, Dêbicki is unlikely to have visited Bulgarian
territories.
