Old NYT article about Albanians

For some unknown reason lately there has been another wave of articles regarding the so called "Albanian Sworn Virgins". The subject seems to resurface every year, and is covered by newspapers around the world, such as the Sidney Morning Herald, and The New York Times. Digging up old stuff is probably a good choice to spice up indolent summer time.

Today, thanks to some friends instead, another small article was brought to my attention from the archives of The New York Times . Dating back to May 1911, it provides an interesting portrait of Albanians by foreigners.
