A bridal couple from Galičnik, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia

A bridal couple from Galičnik, Macedonia The village of Galičnik is in a mountainous region close to Albania. Its isolation before roads were built meant that traditional customs survived much longer than elsewhere. These costumes were acquired in the 1970s from the family who had owned them for generations. The photograph shows these same costumes being worn by members of the family in the 1920s.
