NEW YORK TIMES: “ALBANIANS MOST BEAUTIFUL RACE IN EUROPE”

If you go to Constantinople, you will find that the best men, not only the soldiers, but even the officials are Albanians. ”

“Physically Albanians are the most beautiful race in Europe. Albanian women are very beautiful, with dark hair, and sometimes their eyes are gray. Their walking is a pleasure to be seen, so are their dances when competing in Serbia. The first time I saw the dance, they gave me a special pleasure.The moves are chic and strength together. Yes, they are very beautiful and very talented. They are as Scottish in the seventeenth century. And I mean that they are the best intellectual and physical race in the Balkans. If you go to Constantinople, you will find that the best men, not only the soldiers, but even the officials are Albanians. ”  New York Times, May 21, 1911.
