EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Thessalonica in 1890, a city steeped in history and rich with cultural significance. The image, captured by an unknown creator, showcases the coastal beauty of this Greek Macedonian capital on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea. Thessalonica, founded centuries ago in 315 BC by Cassander of Macedon, flourished as the second largest and wealthiest city during the Byzantine Empire. This engraving is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a renowned book by Edmund Ollier that delves into the Middle Ages. The monochrome scene depicts a picturesque coastline dotted with sailing ships and paddle steamers gracefully gliding through calm waters. Clouds hover above, casting shadows over both land and sea. It's as if time stands still within this historic landscape frozen in ink. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten. We can almost feel the salty breeze against our skin and hear whispers of ancient tales carried by waves crashing against shorelines. This print serves as a reminder of Thessalonica's enduring legacy - its geographical allure intertwined with its significant place in literature, art, and history. It invites us to explore further into Greece's past while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within this single frame.
