Artist
George de la Poer Beresford
Title
English: Philiates
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 town of Filiates with houses surrounded by plane and cypress trees, a mosque beyond and mountains in the distance.[1]


In the print, Philiates is seen in distance with a few village houses and only one mosque. "Distant about ten or twelve miles from the sea, at Sayades, ... [Philiates] is situated near a mountain gorge of unsurpassed beauty. Every British or French traveller that has passed through Philiates must be able to testify to the hospitality of the widow of Dj'ammer Bey; she is a celebrated person in her way; and settles disputes and administers justice in the village. She sits unveiled in her Divan. Her son is a Pasha, and is now fighting against the Russians. As a Turk, she eats not with Christians, but keeps a bountiful table, where travellers can ever obtain welcome board and lodging." (George de la Poer Beresford).[2]
