EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in Albania, a Bear-Fancier in the Bazaar, Scutari" takes us on a visual journey to the bustling streets of 19th-century Albania. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II and published in The Illustrated London News in May 1880, this print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Scutari. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in the vibrant bazaar as an Albanian bear-fancier captivates onlookers with his majestic companion. The bear stands tall beside its handler, drawing both awe and curiosity from passersby. Surrounding them are street scenes filled with locals dressed in traditional attire that speaks volumes about their heritage. Woodville's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to an era where tradition and customs were deeply rooted within everyday life. From the intricate patterns adorning clothing to the architectural elements of Scutari's buildings peeking through at the background - every stroke captures a moment frozen in time. Through this engraving, we witness not only a snapshot of Albanian culture but also gain insight into European exploration during that period. It serves as a reminder of how art can bridge gaps between different societies and allow us to appreciate diverse cultures. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to delve into history while marveling at Woodville's skillful interpretation of life in Albania over a century ago.
