EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the devastating fire that engulfed Thessaloniki's waterfront area in Greece during the summer of 1917. The Great Fire, which raged between the 18th and 19th of August, left a trail of destruction in its wake, reducing numerous buildings along the city's waterfront to rubble and ruin. The fine detail in this image reveals the extent of the damage, with the charred remains of once-grand structures now hidden beneath a thick layer of dust and debris. The waterfront, a bustling hub of commerce and activity, lies silent and still, a poignant reminder of the destructive power of fire. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Salonika, was a significant city in the Ottoman Empire and later part of Greece. This historical photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the events that shaped the city's history." "The photograph, taken circa 1917, is a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing the fine detail of the damaged buildings and the devastating impact of the fire. The image is a testament to the resilience of the people of Thessaloniki, who rebuilt their city in the aftermath of the disaster. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focused on Greek history, urban development, or the history of fires and their impact on communities. The image is available for licensing through Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical and cultural images.
