EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the traditional costume of Albanians from the city of Shkoder during the Ottoman Empire era in the 1910s. The Albanian men in this image proudly wear their embroidered waistcoats, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, as they prepare to serve as volunteers in the Ottoman Army. Each waistcoat is meticulously crafted, with every stitch and detail reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Albanian people. The men also don white fez hats, a symbol of their Albanian identity, which sit atop their heads with the distinctive upturned brim. The volunteers' faces are marked by waxed moustaches, a common feature of traditional Albanian masculinity during this time. In their hands, they hold rifles, a reminder of their military duties and their readiness to defend their homeland. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Ottoman Empire ruled over Albania. It is a testament to the resilience and pride of the Albanian people, who continued to hold onto their unique cultural traditions even amidst foreign rule. The embroidered waistcoats, white fez hats, rifles, and upturned waxed moustaches are not just articles of clothing, but symbols of a proud and enduring history. This photograph is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Albania and the Ottoman Empire.
