The Briton Abroad, a Paper-Chase in Albania
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century. This humorous depiction showcases the adventures of an Englishman as he embarks on a thrilling chase through the streets of Albania. The print captures various intriguing scenes, from encounters with Greek priests and Maltese interpreters to beautifully less-known street views. In this comical pursuit, our protagonist finds himself surrounded by Turkish soldiers, marshes, and even wounded individuals in need of medical attention. As luck would have it, a doctor appears to provide much-needed rest and care for those injured during the chase. Amidst all the chaos, horses gallop alongside cattle while hares grow in energy. Fraternizing with Albanians along his path, our Briton leads them on an amusing paper chase where water buffalos join in on the fun. This lively scene also includes elements such as puzzled hounds and ships carrying tobacco - adding further intrigue to this European adventure. With references to Asklepios (the Greek god of medicine) resting nearby and symbols denoting distinction and reward scattered throughout the image, one can't help but wonder what awaits our daring hero at journey's end. "The Briton Abroad" offers not only entertainment but also glimpses into cultural exchanges between nations during this era. It reminds us that exploration often brings unexpected encounters and rewards beyond imagination – making it truly worth venturing out into unfamiliar territories like Albania.
