EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by artist Richard Caton Woodville II in 1880, depicts a significant moment in Albanian history. Titled "Albanians from Scutari cross the Boyana to occupy Dulcigno" the image transports us back to the 19th century when Albania was striving for independence. The scene unfolds along the picturesque coast, where a group of determined Albanian men can be seen crossing the Boyana River towards Dulcigno. Their purpose is clear - to reclaim their land and fortify their position against external forces. The fortified castle atop a hill serves as a powerful symbol of resistance and protection. Amidst this historic event, one man stands out with his musical instrument – a drum. Perhaps he plays it to boost morale or signal unity among his compatriots. As they make their way across the river, these brave individuals embody both strength and resilience. Woodville's engraving beautifully captures not only the physical landscape but also conveys emotions that accompany such an important undertaking. This artwork was originally featured in The Illustrated London News (1880), making it accessible to people worldwide who sought information about global events. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, we are reminded of Albania's struggle for freedom during that time period. It serves as a poignant reminder of how art can immortalize historical moments and inspire future generations with its timeless beauty and significance.
