EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les evenements de Grece; le siege du gouvernement de la Defense nationale, a Salonique" (Events of Greece; The Siege of the National Defense Government in Thessaloniki), was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916, during the First World War. The image captures a significant moment in the military history of Greece and Macedonia, as Thessaloniki (now Thessaloniki, Greece) was under siege by the Central Powers, including Bulgaria and Germany. The photograph shows an exterior view of the National Defense Government building in Thessaloniki, which served as the headquarters for the Greek military during this period. The image is filled with a sense of tension and urgency, as evidenced by the crowd of people gathered outside the building, likely waiting for news or updates on the ongoing conflict. The building itself appears fortified, with soldiers visible on the rooftop, ready to defend against potential attack. The photograph is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" (Collection of War IV) in "L'Illustration," which documents the events of July, August, September, October, November, and December 1916 in the First World War. Despite the uncertainty and danger of the time, the photograph captures a moment of communal spirit and resilience, as the people of Thessaloniki rally together to defend their city and their country. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
