The arrival of Prince George at Chania, Crete
The arrival of Prince George of Greece, new High Commissioner of Crete at Chania. Although much of modern Greece had been independent since the 1820s, Crete remained in Ottoman hands. A Greek force arrived to annex the island in 1897 and the Great Powers acted, occupying the island and dividing it into British, French, Russian and Italian areas of control. In 1898, Turkish troops were ejected and a national government was set up, still nominally under Ottoman suzerainty. Prince George, was made High Commissioner, and a joint Muslim-Christian assembly was part-elected, part-appointed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment of Prince George of Greece's arrival at the picturesque harbor of Chania, Crete in 1898. At the time, Crete was still under Ottoman rule despite the majority of modern Greece having gained its independence in the 1820s. In an effort to annex the island, a Greek force arrived, leading to the intervention of the Great Powers who divided the island into British, French, Russian, and Italian areas of control. In 1898, Turkish troops were eventually ejected, and a national government was established under Ottoman suzerainty. Prince George, a prominent Greek prince, was appointed as the High Commissioner, overseeing the transition towards Greek rule. The assembly was a combination of part-elections and appointments, reflecting the complex political landscape of the time. The serene waters of the harbor and the welcoming crowd add to the sense of historical significance, making this an intriguing and important snapshot of a pivotal moment in Greek and Cretan history.
