EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Thessaloniki's quayside in Greece during the tumultuous year of 1917. The image transports us back in time to the height of World War One, with the White Tower standing proudly in the background, a symbol of the city's rich history. The White Tower, originally built in the 15th century and rebuilt in the late 19th century, has long been a landmark of Thessaloniki. In the foreground, a Red Cross van is parked, indicating the humanitarian efforts underway during this period of conflict. The van's presence underscores the significant role that Thessaloniki played as a major Allied military and logistical base during World War One. The tram tracks running along the quay side are a reminder of the city's bustling commercial activity, which continued despite the war. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Salonica, was a vital port city and a melting pot of diverse cultures, making it an essential strategic location for the Allied forces. The photograph's muted tones and grainy texture add to its historical authenticity, transporting us back to a time of great change and upheaval. This image is an invaluable record of Thessaloniki's past, offering a glimpse into the city's history during a pivotal moment in world events.
