Summary/Abstract: The text is written after a visit of the retrospective exhibition of Alexander Dobrinov (major Bulgarian cartoonist, 1898-1958) at the Sofia City Gallery and contains an interesting new discovery. Dobrinov used to make caricature portraits of people from the cultural and political elite not only in Bulgaria but also around Eroupe during his travels in the 1930s. Among his models were two Japanese gentlemen. The author, Zlatka Dimitrova, manages to identify one of them who was still unknown.
