BINKA VAZOVA-NIKOLOVA AND THE BOOKPLATE COLLECTION IN THE NATIONAL LIBRARY “ST. ST. CYRIL AND METHODIUS”

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the ex libris as a form of personalized graphic art and a cultural document through an analysis of selected works by Binka Vazova-Nikolova from the collection of the National Library “St. St. Cyril and Methodius”. The focus is placed on a group of eighteen bookplates, with particular attention given to those dedicated to Elisaveta Konsulova-Vazova, Krasimira Koldamova, Elka Bakalova, and Stefka Evstatieva. The study explores the relationship between visual motifs and the professional identity of the owners, as well as the role of the ex libris as a bearer of family memory, cultural affiliation, and artistic symbolism. The article highlights the importance of library collections as spaces for preserving and interpreting national cultural heritage.
