EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the aerial view of the ancient city of Shkoder, Albania, during the First World War. The image, published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1916, offers a glimpse into the geography and history of this beautiful Balkan city. At the heart of the photograph lies the old citadel, a historic fortification that has stood guard over the Shkoder Bay for centuries. The citadel's imposing walls and towers, bathed in the soft light of the 20th century, create a striking contrast against the tranquil waters of the bay. The image also reveals the winding course of the River Drin, which flows through the city and adds to its picturesque charm. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Shkoder, which has been shaped by the various civilizations that have ruled over it throughout the ages. The city's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia has made it a coveted prize for conquerors and invaders, from the Romans to the Ottomans and the Austrians. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, offering a unique perspective on the geography and history of Albania during the First World War. The image's mysterious origin, as it is attributed to an unknown creator, only adds to its allure and intrigue. Whether used for personal reflection or academic research, this photograph is sure to inspire wonder and curiosity about the past.
