Poster; 12 x 8; beige stock, printed in black and illustrated with a photograph; paper fragile and age-toned; upper two corners clipped; old, horizontal fold line with two thin, closed cuts to edges; residue from a brown paper strip to upper margin of verso; in good to very good condition.A missing poster for two small children from Cincinnati, it gave a detailed description of the two brothers, the time they were last seen (April 29, 1912), and the speculation that "Hungarians" might have picked them up. Hungarian-Slovak gypsies emigrated to the US in the late-19th century, primarily to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and New York. They would become well-known for making a living by playing music at cafes and restaurants and for being semi-permanently settled, unlike the other nomadic Romani groups in the country, including the Ludar, the Romanichal, the Black Dutch, etc. Despite that, the general perception of the gypsies' roaming lifestyle and strange and secretive culture gave way to widely-spreading antiziganism. An article in the Greenfield Republican from May 23, 1912, stated that, indeed, Hungarian gypsies had been suspected of kidnapping the boys, as the former had hurriedly left Cincinnati around the time of the disappearances, but ultimately, the children had been found by their father, drowned in a feed-box in a stable. , By the Author, 1912, 2.5, Translated into English by Deborah Whitehouse.

Groups large and small left their ancestral villages along the spine of the Pindos Mountains and moved out into the Balkans and even beyond. Inundating the wider geographical region of Macedonia, they established new settlements in the highlands and colonies in the developing towns. They reached as far as the Rodopi and Balkan Mountains and towns in Bulgaria; they established colonies in towns in Kossovo and Serbia; they crossed the Danube and the Sava to swell the Greek Orthodox communities in the Habsburg Empire and the Danubian Principalities. This account and record of the massive Vlach diaspora clearly shows that Greece itself is the indisputable "metropolis" of the Vlachs. Mr Koukoudis 's research demolishes numerous myths. He shows, for instance, that the Vlachs have not been merely a marginal group of traditional mountain - dwelling pastoral nomads in the modern era. Although their stockbreeding tradition goes back to the Middle Ages, the pastoral nomads are only one part of the Vlach mosaic. From the early 17th century onwards, when they gradually started to make their demographic presence felt in the Balkans, the Vlachs were not only traditional mountain-dwelling pastoral nomads, but also competed fighters (armatoles and klefts), urban itinerant traders, craftsmen, professionals, and retail merchants, and, by extension, vehicles of economic and intellectual activity. These pages reveal that it is the Vlachs' recent history that has played the biggest part in defining their identity...==================================================================IMPORTANT : The shipping cost in not included in the price.
