Abstract

In addition to the newspapers Novice (1843-1902), Slovenec (1873-1945), Slovenski Narod (1868-1943) and others, Slovene readers were informed about the 1875-1878 uprising in Bosnia and Hercegovina, the 1877-1878 Russian-Turkish war, and the 1878 Berlin Congress by the satirical paper Brencelj (1868-1875,1877-1886), which was edited by Jakob Alešovec (1842-1901), a writer, playwright, publisher and newspaper reporter. The caricatures drawn in Tlie Brencelj by a theology student Franc (Frančišek) Zorec (1854-1930), represent one of the rare Slovene artistic responses to the events in the Balkans. Others are Jurij Šubic's (1855-1890) illustrations, based on the epic and lyrical poems in the cycle Raja written by Josip Stritar (1836-1923).
