Wonder where that cow is now, probably in someone’s stomach.
It’s Milka, just picture is in B&W.
This was one of the unexpected effects of urbanization in Eastern Europe. Peasants who came to the city did not become fully accustomed with their new life. I remember my mom telling me that some people used to farm a small plot in front of their apartment building. During winter, many will slaughter the pig in front of the building. I remember that I saw this once and this was late, in the 2000’s. Now I do not think that is a thing anymore
I like that the picture was taken in front of the photo studio. You know they couldn’t fit the cow inside the studio, so they went “jebiga just go out in front”.
That cow is an absolute heffer.
This cow is looking well, must cost a lot of money in those days.
Either they are tiny or that is one massive cow
She’s a beaut.
so cute <3
Bear in mind, the cow holds a special place for Serbian farmers even today (and I suspect in many places in Europe, Asia, Africa…). To kill a family’s only cow, for example, was (and still is?) a major crime in Serbia. Both my grandmas that lived in the countryside went through a period of depression in their early 80s once they had to sell their respective last cows (cause of old age they couldn’t look after them any more). For them it meant they no longer have a serious household, one that can produce cheese, milk, kajmak and so on. It’s no longer a “domaćinska kuća” once there are no cows. They viewed their cows almost as members of the family.
The main reason why they came to town is to take a photo of themselves with cow(behind there is a sign ,,фотограф”(Photographer))
i mean it’s nice
Truly nice cow, I’d travel with her all over Europe.
You mean a cow with his pets human family
I’m a simple man I see big tits, I upvote
This is easy my grandad, going to the market to sell the cow and take a family photo for the first time, wear your best kids!
why are they so small?
I’m a novice Greek speaker, but the far left translates to “Photograph”. I guess same translation applies for Serbian/Cyrillic?
Sounds like a good comedy of errors movie
primitive villagers bringing their backwards customs to cities
Cow represented a family stronghold back in the 60,70, in fact from a story of my grandmother, i heard that my gran grand dad had alcohol issue, therefore one time he sold only cow that they had which provided food for them, i can only imagine how that affected them back in time
Can confirm, I was the cow
That is dope.
Interesting.
Cow looks like it weighs more than the family
Started reading the title and after “A Serbian f” I already hat PTSD
I like how the family is all in order of size, looking like those Russian dolls you can fit inside each other.
Does the text next to them say photograph?
In 1940 almost all people in small towns in all countries looked like that.

That is a big bovine. Or they are all really short.
