Albanien in der Kunst des Malers Edward Lear (1848)
Pikturat shqiptare të Eduard Lirit (Edward Lear, 1848)
EDL013 - Edward Lear: Shkodra (Scutari) in northern Albania. Albanians smoking by the Drin River,
with the fortress of Shkodra and the Lead Mosque (dating from 1773) in the background, 4 October
1848.
“Everywhere the various groups of buffalo carts and peasants, or of scarlet-coated Gheghes sitting
on the ground, were full of interest; but the thin population of a place so extensive as Skódra is very
apparent, and it was a great contrast to the lively and thriving Monastir.” Edward Lear in Albania
(London 2008), p. 68.
