En Macedonie; le Vardar - vue prise en aval de Guevgueli, quelques kilometres apres la frontiere serbo-grecque,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative photograph taken by the renowned French photographer Almery Lobel Riche in 1916. This striking image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" published in the French magazine "L'Illustration," documenting the events of the First World War. The photograph captures the Vardar River, a major geographical feature that flows through the Balkan Peninsula, as it winds its way through the lush Macedonian landscape. Taken from a vantage point downstream of Guevgueli, just a few kilometres beyond the Serbo-Greek border, the image offers a breathtaking view of the river as it cuts through the verdant valley, surrounded by the towering mountains of the Macedonian range. The scene is one of tranquility and natural beauty, but the serenity is belied by the looming presence of the war that raged on in the region. The Macedonian Front, also known as the Salonika Front, was a significant theatre of the First World War, with both Serbian and Greek forces facing off against the Central Powers. The border between Serbia and Greece was a contested one, and the area around the Vardar River was a strategic location for both sides. Despite the conflict that raged nearby, Lobel Riche's photograph offers a moment of respite, a glimpse into the natural beauty of a region that was being torn apart by the ravages of war. The image is a poignant reminder of the complexities of war, and the enduring power of nature to inspire awe and wonder, even in the midst of conflict. This photograph by Almery Lobel Riche is a testament to the power of visual storytelling, capturing a moment in history that continues to resonate with us today. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving the past, and the role that art and photography play in helping us to understand the world around us.
