Albania's Adriatic coast and mountains, and its changing place in the Balkans, are recorded in maps by Cantelli, Mallet, Zatta and the SDUK, alongside Ottoman vilayet sheets and detailed plans of the Corfu Channel and Vlorë Bay. Some sheets reach beyond the present border into historical Epirus. First World War maps follow Durazzo, Otranto and operations on the Albanian front, and later sheets record the Greco-Italian conflict and Mediterranean naval bases. The prints, from nineteenth-century publications, show Arta, soldiers, shepherds, wedding celebrations and regional dress.
