EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly remarkable moment in history - the speech of thanks given by the grateful people of Ierossos, a small Greek island, to the British Fleet and English Government for their assistance and relief efforts following a devastating earthquake in 1932. The image shows a delegation of Islanders from Ierossos expressing their heartfelt gratitude onboard the HMS Resolution on 1st October 1932.
The scene is filled with emotion as citizens wave white flags of peace and unity, while the British naval ensign flies proudly in the background. This powerful display of solidarity between two nations serves as a reminder of the importance of international aid and cooperation during times of crisis.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back to a time when humanity triumphed over tragedy, when strangers became allies, and when hope was restored in the hearts of those who had lost so much. It is a testament to the resilience and generosity of both the Greek people and their British counterparts.
This piece is not just a work of art; it is a symbol of compassion, unity, and gratitude that will continue to inspire generations to come.
