None of those are rare... I have seen them numerous times before on various webpages and sites. The last two are very common, communist era BS Partizan depictions that show no flavor, style or value... just like 99% of anything Hoxha produced.
The last drawing is yet another communist one depicting the wests' 'abandonment' of Albania, particularly demonizing the Papacy. Scanderbeg and his men are dressed in outlandishly anachronistic clothing (as if what Albanians wore in the 19th and early 20th century was exactly what they wore in 1444).... All propaganda.
