This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Attalidon Street in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the First World War. Dated circa 1916, the image reveals a vibrant scene filled with people and activity. In the background, the blue skies of Thessaloniki are punctuated by the silhouettes of aircraft flying overhead. These monoplanes, a testament to the technological advancements of the time, were likely used for military reconnaissance or transportation. The presence of the planes adds an element of excitement and intrigue to the scene, as the people of Thessaloniki go about their daily lives amidst the larger global conflict. Thessaloniki, a major Allied military hub during WWI, was a melting pot of diverse cultures and military forces. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of this dynamic city during a pivotal moment in world history. Thessaloniki's vibrant energy and the awe-inspiring technology of the aircraft create a striking juxtaposition, making this image a captivating piece of historical documentation.
