EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1901, showcases a group of Bulgarian women from the village of Kiretz-Kuey (Kiretch-Kieuy) in Thessaloniki, Greece. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is the second-largest city in Greece and has a rich cultural history, reflecting its diverse population. These women, dressed in their traditional Bulgarian attire, embody the unique heritage of the region. The women in the photograph are adorned in intricately embroidered dresses, featuring vibrant floral patterns and intricate designs. Their headdresses, or bonnets, are also adorned with flowers and ribbons, adding to their elegant appearance. The women hold amphorae, large ancient Greek vessels used for storing and transporting liquids, which were a common prop in traditional Bulgarian portraits of the time. The village of Kiretz-Kuey, located in the region of Macedonia, had a significant Bulgarian population, and its residents were known for their distinctive cultural traditions. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of these women and the community they belonged to. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity that exists within Thessaloniki and the surrounding areas. The photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of preserving the stories and memories of the past.
