EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of Albanian men proudly don their traditional national costumes, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of their people in the picturesque landscape of Montenegro during the 1910s. The men, dressed in their finest attire, exude a sense of pride and camaraderie as they gather for a ceremonial occasion. Their outfits consist of long, flowing skirts known as "fjala," which are typically made from heavy wool fabric and feature intricate embroidery. The skirts are worn with high-waisted, belted shirts, and over the shoulders, they wear a "sheqerbeje," a traditional woolen vest adorned with silver or gold embroidery. Each man wears a "fez," a conical hat that is a symbol of Albanian identity, tilted slightly to one side. The men's faces are serious and focused, their eyes reflecting the importance of the event they are attending. The natural beauty of Montenegro's rugged mountains and lush greenery serve as a stunning backdrop to this traditional display of Albanian fashion and culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of Albanian men during a time when their national identity was being shaped and solidified. The intricate details of their clothing and the sense of community and tradition conveyed in the image make it a valuable and captivating addition to any collection of historical photographs. The Albanian people have a rich and complex history, and their traditional costumes are an essential part of that heritage. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and uniqueness of Albanian attire but also highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural traditions.
