EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time in Greece, Crete, in 1905. Two French soldiers are seen leisurely smoking the narguile while a third soldier enjoys a glass of wine. The number on their caps identifies them as part of the 122nd regiment.
The scene exudes an air of camaraderie and relaxation amidst the backdrop of historic Crete. The soldiers appear to be taking a well-deserved break from their duties, indulging in some much-needed downtime.
The image offers a glimpse into the social customs and pastimes of that era, with smoking and drinking being common forms of recreation for military personnel. The traditional hookah pipe adds an exotic touch to the setting, reflecting influences from different cultures.
The rich colors and details captured by the photographer evoke a sense of nostalgia for this bygone era. It is a reminder of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace and moments like these were cherished.
Overall, this print serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of life in early 20th-century Greece. It invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of that distant world.
