Description |
English: A book of scenes of Southern Albania by George de la Poer Beresford, with no text other than a table of contents with descriptions of the plates and titles and production details. The individual views of the lithograph as follows: A view of the audience chambers of Ali Pasha, the room bare but with an ornamental ceiling, groups of Ottoman Albanian dignitaries standing about or seated on the low stone benches running along the right wall.[1]
Ali Pasha of Tepelena or of Yannina (Janina, Ioannina), surnamed Aslan, "the Lion", or the "Lion of Yannina" (1740-1822), was a Muslim Albanian ruler who served as an Ottoman pasha of the western part of Rumelia, the Ottoman Empire's European territory, which was referred to as the Pashalik of Yanina At this time (1855) Yannina (Ioannina) was the capital of an administrative division of the Ottoman Empire. In 1913 it became part of Greece. In the print, the audience chamber of the pasha is seen on a very bright day. A man (or Ali Pasha if this is a reconstruction of a past scene) sits on a divan (sedir) and meets with one of his visitors at the corner of the saloon, while others wait in a queue to speak to him. The ceiling is elaborately ornamented with scrollwork mouldings.[2] |
