EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time in Greece, La Chania, Crete in 1909. The Riviere officer is depicted leisurely seated on his canape, engrossed in reading the newspaper. The intricate details of the scene transport us back to a bygone era, where military officers found solace and relaxation amidst their duties.
The officer's posture exudes an air of sophistication and refinement as he indulges in his daily ritual of catching up on the news. The ornate tapestry adorning the chair adds a touch of elegance to the setting, while various plants bring life and vibrancy to the room.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a world where time seems to stand still. The officer's cup of tea sits delicately on the table beside him, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. It is evident that every element within this composition has been carefully curated to evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm.
Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into everyday life in early 20th century Crete – a blend of tradition, culture, and modernity captured beautifully by Lux-in-Fine. This piece serves as a reminder of simpler times when moments like these were cherished and savored with grace and poise.
