EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a traditional Albanian woman from Shkodra, Albania, during the transitional period between the Ottoman Empire and the modern era, around 1919. The woman wears a voluminous, intricately embroidered cloak, adorned with geometric patterns and delicate floral motifs, which is draped over her head and secured with a veil. The veil, known as a qeleshe or qelesh, is a distinctive feature of Albanian Muslim women's attire, and was worn as a symbol of modesty and religious observance. The photograph was likely taken in a studio setting, with the woman posing against a plain backdrop to highlight the beauty and intricacy of her traditional costume. The era in which this photograph was taken marks a significant moment in Albanian history, as the country was emerging from centuries of Ottoman rule and beginning to assert its national identity. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled over Albania for over 500 years, had a profound impact on Albanian culture, particularly in the areas of art, architecture, and fashion. The traditional Albanian costume, with its distinctive veiling and embroidery, reflects the rich cultural heritage that developed during this period of history. Despite the passing of time and the influence of modern fashion trends, the traditional Albanian costume continues to be an important symbol of Albanian identity and pride. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, and a testament to the enduring resilience and richness of Albanian culture.
