EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily scene of porters loading up a cart in Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1904. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is Greece's second-largest city and a significant cultural melting pot. In this image, two porters are deeply concentrated, bending over a wooden crate filled with heavy furniture. Their faces are etched with determination and focus as they lift and maneuver the piece onto the cart. A third porter assists from behind, ensuring a stable load. The weighty burden seems almost insurmountable, yet their teamwork and perseverance make the task possible. The porters' clothing reflects the era, with long-sleeved shirts and trousers, and headscarves for protection from the sun. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the hard work and dedication of these laborers in Thessaloniki. It is a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the resilience that has shaped the city's rich history.
