EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling quayside of Thessaloniki, Greece during World War I. The image, set within an intricate border, is taken from a list of annual Saints Days published by Libraire Francaise, located at 10, Rue Venizelos. The date of the publication is estimated to be circa 1916. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, was a major port city in northern Greece and a crucial strategic location during the war. The quayside teems with activity as pedestrians move along the waterfront, electric trams pass by, and ships can be seen in the harbor. The city's vibrant multicultural heritage is reflected in the diverse crowd, with people of various ethnicities and backgrounds going about their daily business. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of Thessaloniki during a pivotal period in time. The city had a rich history even before the war, having been ruled by various empires throughout the centuries, including the Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. During WW1, it became a refuge for thousands of Greeks fleeing the fighting in other parts of the country, as well as an important Allied military and logistical base. Despite the challenges and hardships brought about by the war, the quayside of Thessaloniki remains a symbol of resilience and continuity. The city has since rebuilt and flourished, becoming a popular tourist destination and an essential cultural and economic hub in Greece and the wider region.
