EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the port of Chania, Crete in 1909. French troops, officers, and their families are seen boarding a rowing shuttle to join the ship waiting for them offshore. The image provides a glimpse into the transportation methods of the early twentieth century, showcasing the means by which people traveled across water.
The scene is bustling with activity as men in military uniform oversee the boarding process while women and children eagerly make their way onto the boat. The parasol-wielding ladies add a touch of elegance to this otherwise utilitarian setting.
In the background, we catch a glimpse of the cityscape of Chania, adding depth and context to this historical snapshot. The image not only documents a specific moment in time but also serves as a window into life in Crete during this period.
As we study each individual in the photograph - from soldiers to civilians - we can't help but wonder about their stories and experiences. This print is not just an image frozen in time; it's a doorway to another era that invites us to imagine what life was like for those who lived it.
