Various Views of Crete
Various Views of Crete including a panoramic view of Jerapetra, the Venetian Fort at Spinalonga and the construction (and subsequent) use of a canal, built by French forces occupying Crete. 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

Various Views of Crete: A Snapshot of Historical Transformation This collection of photographic prints offers a glimpse into the rich history and complex political landscape of Crete during the late 19th century. The images showcase various views of this enchanting Greek island, including the picturesque harbor town of Jerapetra, the imposing Venetian Fort at Spinalonga, and the construction of a canal by French forces occupying the island. Crete, located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, had remained under Ottoman rule while much of modern Greece had gained independence in the 1820s. In 1897, a Greek force arrived to annex the island, 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 ejected, and a national government was established, still nominally under Ottoman suzerainty. Prince George was appointed as High Commissioner, and a joint Muslim-Christian assembly was part-elected, part-appointed. The first photograph showcases the panoramic view of Jerapetra, a charming harbor town nestled along the northern coast of Crete. The second image reveals the majestic Venetian Fort at Spinalonga, a testament to the island's rich history and cultural diversity. The final photograph captures the construction of a canal by French forces occupying the island in 1901. This engineering feat was a significant undertaking, designed to connect the island's northern and southern coasts, enhancing transportation and communication between different regions. These photographic prints offer a unique window into a pivotal moment in Crete's history, showcasing the island's breathtaking landscapes and the transformative impact of political and military intervention.
