Depictions of peasants and their folk dress were a ubiquitous part of the visual culture of Central and Eastern Europe throughout the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century linked with burgeoning nationalisms. The boldly illustrated covers of Svijet (World), a weekly magazine produced in Zagreb in the late 1920s and early 1930s, exemplify this increased prominence of peasant imagery.
