EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the Salonika Campaign of the First World War. On June 3, 1916, an état de siège, or state of siege, was declared in Salonika, Greece, in response to growing unrest and tensions between the local population and the occupying Allied forces. In the image, French soldiers and gendarmes stand guard at the entrance of the prefecture, a symbol of Allied authority. The crowd in the background, a mix of civilians and military personnel, adds to the sense of unease and anticipation. The photograph is from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 1" published by L'Illustration, a French weekly magazine known for its high-quality illustrations and reporting. The Salonika Campaign, also known as the Macedonian Front, was a significant theater of the First World War, with troops from France, Great Britain, and other Allied powers fighting against Bulgarian and Ottoman forces. The campaign lasted from 1915 to 1918 and saw some of the most intense and brutal fighting of the war. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex and often chaotic reality of wartime Salonika, a city that was home to a diverse population of Greeks, Jews, Bulgarians, and Allied soldiers. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the tensions that can arise when different cultures and ideologies come into contact. The photograph's unknown creator captured a moment in history that continues to resonate today, over a century later.
