EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "The Graeco-Turkish War, Scenes in Crete" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts the aftermath of a fierce battle during the Greco-Turkish War that ravaged the island of Crete. In this scene, we witness the headquarters of the Greek commander amidst a chaotic military camp. Turkish soldiers lie wounded and cared for by their Greek counterparts, showcasing an unexpected display of compassion amid conflict. The injured are being treated with utmost care and attention as they recover from their wounds. The artist, Melton Prior, masterfully captures the intensity and human aspect of war through his detailed engraving. Every line tells a story; every face carries emotions etched deeply within. From Malaxa to Alykianon and Canea, these scenes portray not only physical injuries but also wounded spirits and shattered dreams. Colonel Vassos stands tall among his comrades as he oversees operations while nursing an injury himself. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences brought about by wars fought on European soil. It immortalizes moments that should never be forgotten – moments that remind us to strive for peace and understanding even in times of turmoil. As we gaze upon this artwork from our private collection, let it serve as both a historical record and an inspiration for future generations to learn from past mistakes and work towards building a more harmonious world.
