EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time in the beautiful countryside of Crete, Greece. The year is 1908, and a group of French officers are enjoying a picnic with their Italian counterparts at the foot of a fortress in Izzedin. The scene is one of camaraderie and friendship, as soldiers from different nations come together to share a meal and relax amidst the stunning landscape.
In the background looms Aptera Fortress or Koules Subais, adding an air of history and mystery to the gathering. The lush greenery surrounding them serves as a picturesque backdrop for this unlikely meeting of minds.
The image speaks volumes about the human experience - despite language barriers and cultural differences, people can still find common ground over food and drink. It also highlights the military presence in Crete during this period, offering a glimpse into the geopolitical tensions that shaped Europe in the early 20th century.
Overall, this photograph is not just a snapshot from history but a testament to the enduring power of friendship and connection across borders. It reminds us that even in times of conflict, moments of peace and unity can still be found.
