EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of the Greek King's arrival at Metelin Harbour, Lesbos, Greece on the 11th of May, 1913. The image presents a regal and dignified scene as the King, dressed in full military uniform, disembarks from his motor yacht, accompanied by a flotilla of smaller boats carrying officials and dignitaries. The pristine white buildings of Metelin and the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea create a picturesque backdrop to the event. The arrival of the Greek King marked a significant moment in the history of Lesbos, an island that had been under Turkish rule for centuries before being officially handed back to Greece in the same year. The King's visit was a symbol of Greece's reclaiming of its cultural and historical heritage, and the beginning of a new chapter in the island's history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and tradition. The King's arrival at Metelin Harbour was more than just a political event; it was a moment of national pride and celebration for the people of Greece and Lesbos. This image is a testament to the rich history and enduring cultural significance of Greece and its islands, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
