EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a haunting chapter in history - the devastating events that unfolded in Smyrna, Turkey, in 1922. The image captures the aftermath of destruction, showcasing burnt buildings near the quay. The scene is a stark reminder of the chaos and devastation that engulfed this once-thriving city. The composition of the photograph is striking, with its contrasting elements. Amidst the rubble and charred remnants of what were once bustling structures, there are hints of resilience and hope. Perhaps it's a lone figure navigating through the ruins or a glimpse of untouched beauty amidst desolation. Looking at this image evokes an array of emotions - sadness for those who lost their homes and livelihoods, curiosity about what led to such destruction, and admiration for those who persevered through unimaginable circumstances. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Liszt Collection's lens, let us remember not only the tragedy but also acknowledge how communities can rebuild themselves after facing immense adversity. This photograph serves as both a testament to human resilience and as a visual record preserving an important piece of our shared past.
