EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in European history as the Greek Royal Family, led by King Constantine I and Queen Sophia of Prussia, disembark from the royal yacht "Sphacteria" in the Italian port of Villa San Giovanni on June 17, 1917. The family had been forced into exile after threats from the Entente forces to bomb Athens during the First World War. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, shows the royals stepping onto Italian soil, marking the beginning of their journey to Switzerland. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the political upheaval and personal sacrifices made during this tumultuous time in history. The image features King Constantine I, the Duke of Sparta, and his family, including Queen Sophia of Prussia, as they prepare to leave Greece and begin their new life in exile. The photograph's timeless composition and the formal attire of the subjects make it a significant historical document and an intriguing glimpse into the past.
