EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the enchanting year of 1938, showcases the picturesque islet of Pontiknisi, also known as Mouse Island, nestled between Agriovatanos and Ellinika in the Ionian Sea of Corfu, Greece. The island derives its name from the Byzantine chapel of Pantokrator, which stands proudly at its center, resembling a mouse's head from a certain angle. The image transports us back to the 1930s, an era of elegance and serenity, as we witness the tranquil waters surrounding the islet, reflecting the azure sky above. The gentle lapping of the waves against the rocky shores, the vibrant greenery of the surrounding landscape, and the quaint charm of the chapel all come together to create a scene of timeless beauty. The Byzantine chapel of Pantokrator, with its rich history and intricate architecture, adds a sense of mystique to the island. The chapel, dedicated to the all-powerful God, has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries, drawing visitors from all corners of the world. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the simple pleasures of life, the beauty of nature, and the enduring allure of the Greek islands. The image serves as a testament to the timeless beauty of Corfu and the enchanting allure of the 1930s, inviting us to imagine a world of serenity and tranquility.
