EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the quay of Thessaloniki's port during the 1910s. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Thessalonica, is Greece's second-largest city and a vibrant cultural melting pot. In this image, we see a group of men carefully unloading amphorae and other ceramic pieces from a ship, likely for onward sale in the city's numerous shops and stalls. The port of Thessaloniki has been a vital hub for trade since ancient times, and the city's rich history is reflected in its thriving marketplaces. The amphorae, with their distinctive shapes and intricate designs, are a testament to the long-standing tradition of Greek pottery. The men in the photograph work diligently, their faces etched with concentration as they maneuver the heavy pots, oblivious to the picturesque backdrop of the harbor and the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Thessaloniki's port was a bustling center of commerce and cultural exchange.
