French newspaper calling the Pyrrhic dance Albanian in 1876

In the French newspaper “Le Monténégro contemporain: ouvrage orné d’une carte et de dix gravures / par” by G. Frilley et Jovan Wlahovitj dated 1876, we can read that the author denotes the Pyrrhic dance as Albanian.

Cited:

“They must indeed have known this Albanian dance, the ancient Pyrrhic, where the feet make the ground tremble, struck in cadence, while the dancers, brandishing their naked sabers or intertwining their arms, look more like ferocious fighters.”
