Pikturat shqiptare të Eduard Lirit (Edward Lear, 1848)

EDL029 - Edward Lear: View of the Acroceraunian Mountains (Linguetta) and the Bay of Vlora in southern Albania, ca. 21 October 1848. “Beyond them were grey cliffs and green dun heights - a strip of white sand and the long promontory of Linguetta stretching out into the gulf; the clear splashing sea at my feet, and above all the bright streaked sky. A quiet half-hour in such a scene crowds many a reflection into the tablets of thought, but such can have no place in journals.” Edward Lear in Albania (London 2008), p. 109.
