介绍（中）	李尔王在1848年秋天访问了莫纳斯提尔。他的《阿尔巴尼亚风景画家日记》（1851年）记录了君士坦丁堡作为他的出发点，并于9月18日抵达莫纳斯提尔，停留了三天。该镇当时是奥斯曼帝国的一部分，位于与伊利里亚和马其顿接壤的地区，今天被称为马其顿共和国境内的比托拉。在十九世纪中叶，当地穆斯林认为绘画是亵渎神明的，因此李尔王最初无法在户外素描。在拜访了当地的奥斯曼官员，剑桥大学教育的埃米姆·塞拉斯基·帕夏之后，他得到了一名警卫，能够在不受干扰的情况下工作。德拉戈河沿岸的景色包括右侧一座突出的塔楼（今天被改建为钟楼），通过树木可以看到耶尼清真寺的圆顶和宣礼塔。在远处，李尔包括一座桥，桥上排列着商店，他在日记中指出，"无论是向上还是向下看，宣礼塔和清真寺与柏树和柳树交织在一起，构成了最令人钦佩的美景……犹太人区拥挤的城市的那些地方是多么风景如画，那里精心设计的木屋悬在激流中，被宏伟的飞机、柏树和白杨树遮蔽！"远处可以看到白帽山。
介绍（英）	Lear visited Monastir during a fall 1848 tour. His "Journals of a Landcape Painter in Albania, etc." (1851) record Constantinople as his point of departure, and arrival at Monastir on September 18th, with a stay of three days. Then part of the Ottoman Empire, the town lies in a region that borders Illyria and Macedonia and is today known as Bitola, within the Republic of Macedonia. In the mid-nineteenth century local Muslims regarded drawing as blasphemous and made it impossible initially for Lear to sketch outdoors. After visiting a local Ottoman official, the Cambridge eduated Emim Seraskier Pasha, he received a guard and was able to work unmolested. This view along the Dragor River includes a prominent tower at right (repurposed today into a clock tower), with the dome and minaret of the Jeni Mosque visible through trees. In the distance, Lear included a bridge lined with shops, noting in his journal that, "either looking up or down the river, the intermixture of minarets and mosques with cypress and willow foliage, forms subjects of the most admirable beauty...How picturesque were those parts of the crowded city in the Jews' quarter, where the elaborately detailed wooden houses overhung the torrent, shaded by grand plane, cypress, and poplar!" White-capped mountains may be seen in the distance.
