EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the scene of "Mountain Defences in Albania, Miridites and Albanians building Stone Batteries". Created by an unknown European School artist during the 19th century, this print showcases a significant moment in history. The image depicts a group of determined Albanians and Miridites constructing stone batteries amidst the rugged mountainous terrain. The composition exudes a sense of military unrest and agitation as these brave individuals work tirelessly to fortify their defenses. Their actions are driven by a shared goal to protect their homeland from potential threats. The blurred motion within the artwork adds an element of urgency, emphasizing the continuous movement and action required for such endeavors. Albania's strategic location in Europe has historically made it vulnerable to external influences, necessitating strong defensive measures. This engraving sheds light on the resilience and resourcefulness of its people who have always been ready to defend their land against any intrusion. Preserved within a private collection, this print originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on October 16th, 1880. It serves as both a historical record and testament to the determination displayed by these Albanian defenders throughout centuries past. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder offers us access to this remarkable piece that encapsulates not only Albania's rich history but also highlights the strength found within communities united under common cause.
