This lithograph by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, titled "The First Alarm at Larissa, Greeks hiding Valuables in their Garden before leaving the City in the General Panic" transports us to a moment of intense emotion and turmoil. The scene depicts a group of Greek citizens desperately concealing their valuables within the confines of their garden as they prepare to flee from Larissa during the Greco-Turkish War. The artist skillfully captures the sense of urgency and fear that permeates this historical event. Each figure is depicted with great detail, showcasing their expressions of anxiety and determination. The composition itself is filled with tension, as shadows cast by looming buildings create an atmosphere of impending danger. Through this artwork, we are given a glimpse into the human cost and sacrifices made during times of conflict.
