EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Dgi-Guerdgi Albanois, qui porte au Bezestein des Foyes de Mouton pour nourrir les Chats" takes us back to 18th century Albania. The image showcases a man dressed in traditional Albanian attire, standing proudly on the bustling streets of his country. This unknown gentleman is depicted as a meat seller, carrying baskets filled with sheep's offal to feed the local cats. The engraving, skillfully created by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, beautifully captures the essence of this Levantine scene. The intricate details and delicate etching bring life to both the man and his feline companions. As we gaze at this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported to a time when street vendors played an essential role in their communities. This portrait not only highlights the occupation of this mysterious figure but also provides insight into daily life during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Albania and its people's connection with animals. As we admire this historical artifact, let us appreciate how art can preserve moments from centuries past while reminding us of our shared humanity across time and place.
