EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Occupation of Canea, Sport in the Midst of War" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by S. T. Dadd in the 19th century, this print captures a scene that appeared in The Graphic on March 13,1897. Intriguingly juxtaposing war and leisure, the image depicts soldiers engaged in an unexpected activity amidst the turmoil of occupation. Set against the backdrop of Greece's Canea region, we witness a group of soldiers enthusiastically playing hockey. This engraving offers a remarkable glimpse into how individuals find solace and camaraderie even during times of conflict. The artist skillfully conveys both tension and lightheartedness within this composition. While armed soldiers stand watch nearby, their attention is momentarily diverted as they indulge in this spirited game. It serves as a reminder that humanity can still find joy and unity amid chaos. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this lithograph invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of war while celebrating moments of respite from its harsh realities. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it encourages us to contemplate how sports can transcend boundaries and bring people together – even during periods marked by strife.
