An interesting inscription from the 1870s when the Romanian language was deliberately manipulated and twisted to sound more Latin, French and Italian, purging it of Slavic and other “barbarian” influences. It was a period when Romania’s culture and politics were dominated by Transylvanian intellectual refugees from Austria-Hungary fleeing the politics of forced Magyarisation of Budapest. This inscription is dedicatory to Cantacuzino Fountain in Carol Park of Bucharest. #latinisation #politicsoflanguage #bucharest #1870s #balkans #architecturephotography #casedeepoca #southeasteurope
Meditating about Romania’s fascist past and today’s gut wrenching fascist renaissance in front of the Mussolinian style Aviator Mirecea Zorileanu monument/ tomb (1937, sculptor Emil Gove, Quito Square, Bucharest). #tour #architecturaltour #fascism #romania #bucharest #mussolinian #architecturephotography #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca
Unusual spelling for Bucharest- “Bucurest” on a manhole in Carol Park. It is probably set in place in 1906, when the great Royal Jubilee Exhibition unfurled there. The exhibition was a Westernisation effort of the then young independent Balkan state of Romania, reflected even in the change of spelling of the name of the capital from the Ottoman era “Bucuresci” to the what they considered more western European sounding “Bucurest”; an interesting chapter of social history in manhole covers. #manholecover #bucharest #1906 #royaljubileeexhibition #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca
3D manner Art Deco window of a hairdresser’s shop, dating from the late 1930s, in Carol Park area of Bucharest. It has recently been dismantled and thrown unceremoniously in the rubbish skip, replaced by a white plastic frame double glazing abomination. That is considered now high status by the actual barbarian Bucharest inhabitants. #artdeco #shopwindow #1930s #bucharest #architecturephotography #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca
