EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of the Foreign Consulates in Crete during the time of Cretan Independence, around the turn of the 20th century. The image features the residences of the English, Austro-Hungarian, Russian, Italian, and French consulates, all gathered around the home of Prince George of Greece and Denmark. Prince George, who served as the High Commissioner of Crete from 1898 to 1913, played a significant role in the island's transition from Ottoman rule to becoming a part of the Kingdom of Greece. The consulates, representing the major European powers, were essential players in the political landscape of the region during this period of transition. The English Consulate, located on the left side of the image, is a grand, two-story building with a red-tiled roof and ornate stonework. The Austro-Hungarian Consulate, situated in the center, is a more modest, one-story structure with a whitewashed facade. The Russian Consulate, to the right of the English Consulate, is a large, imposing building with a red brick exterior and tall, arched windows. The Italian Consulate, at the far right of the image, is a charming, whitewashed villa with a red-tiled roof and intricate ironwork. The French Consulate, located behind the grouping of consulates, is not visible in this photograph. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Crete during a pivotal moment in its past. The consulates, each with their unique architectural styles, stand as reminders of the diverse influences that shaped the island's cultural and political landscape. The home of Prince George, at the center of the scene, serves as a symbol of the island's connection to the Greek monarchy and its eventual integration into the Kingdom of Greece.
