Pikturat shqiptare të Eduard Lirit (Edward Lear, 1848)
EDL033 - Edward Lear: Sunset on the coast of Himara (Khimára/Cimara) on the southern Albanian
coast, 24 October 1848.
“After drawing some of the innumerable cousins of the house of Kasnétzi - each of them a picture
(though from their sense of mourning I could not get sketches of any of the females) - I went out, and
drew Vunó from the north, until sunset, surrounded by groups of Khimáriotes, a naturally well-
behaved set of people, whose conversation was intelligent and various, and whose interest in my
drawing reminded me of Abruzzi and Calabria.” Edward Lear in Albania (London 2008), p. 132.
