EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the departure of the King and Queen of Greece into exile. On that fateful Wednesday, December 19,1923, amidst political turmoil, the royal couple embarked on a pinnace from the bustling port of Athens, Piraeus. Accompanied by their loyal Chamberlain, M. Soutos, they set sail towards Romania where their uncertain future awaited. The image exudes an air of solemnity as it freezes this poignant chapter in European history. The monochrome tones add depth to the photograph's narrative, emphasizing both the gravity of their departure and the weighty decisions made during those tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, one cannot help but wonder about the emotions coursing through their veins - apprehension mixed with hope for what lies ahead. This visual testament serves as a reminder that even royalty is not immune to upheaval and displacement. Preserved by Central News and now brought back to life by TopFoto, this evocative image invites us to reflect on how power dynamics can shift dramatically within nations. It stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and adaptability against adversity
