EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "Athens seen from a plane; Athens and its port, Piraeus," is a captivating black and white image from the First World War era, specifically from the publication "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." The creator of this evocative piece remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. This aerial view of Athens, the ancient capital city of Greece, and its bustling port of Piraeus, offers a unique perspective that was uncommon during that time. The image captures the city's sprawling terrain, with the winding paths of the Macedonian and Salonika fronts visible in the foreground, contrasting sharply with the pristine waters of the Saronic Gulf and the bustling port of Piraeus. The print showcases the city's rich history and its strategic importance during the First World War, as Athens served as a vital supply center for the Allied forces, particularly during the Macedonian and Salonika fronts. The image also highlights the city's distinctive architecture, with the Acropolis, the ancient citadel located in the heart of Athens, standing proudly amidst the modern buildings and military installations. The ink and white and black print is a testament to the artistic prowess of the unknown artist, who skillfully captured the essence of Athens during a pivotal moment in history.
