Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the visual images of Bulgaria conveyed by two Hungarian books that have not been translated into Bulgarian (Ecsedi I. “A bolgárok földjén utirajzok”, 1929; Szilády Zoltán „Bulgária“, 1931). They illustrate the multiplicity of Bulgarian worlds, the ethnic and cultural specifics of individual regions, the everyday life, the elements of traditional society and nascent modernity. In this way the visual narrative for Bulgaria becomes more and more multifaceted and richer.
