EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of cultural significance. The image depicts a young Montenegrin boy roasting a sheep with an Albanian man seated in front of the fire. The boy is diligently turning the wooden pin, ensuring that every inch of meat is cooked to perfection. This illustration was created by Valerio, based on his original drawing, and serves as an accompaniment to Charles Yriarte's account of his journey to Dalmatia in 1874. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1876, edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette edition in Paris, it offers readers a glimpse into the customs and traditions of the Balkans during that era. The image captures not only the daily life activities but also highlights the importance placed on food preparation within these communities. It symbolizes their connection to nature and their reliance on traditional cooking methods. As we observe this moment frozen in time, we can almost smell the mouthwatering aroma wafting from the fire. This photograph print from Leonard de Selva's collection evokes nostalgia for simpler times when communal meals brought people together and celebrated their shared heritage. Through this engraving, we gain insight into Montenegro's rich history while appreciating its enduring traditions surrounding food and community gatherings.
