EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the Graeco-Turkish War, depicting scenes on the frontier. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph showcases hermits living amidst caves and bridges in the northern region of Meteora, Kalibaki, Greece. The rugged landscape serves as a backdrop to these isolated figures who have sought solace and refuge within nature's embrace. Their humble dwellings blend seamlessly with the rocky terrain, symbolizing their detachment from worldly affairs during this tumultuous period of conflict. The bridge that spans across Peneios River stands as a testament to human resilience and connection amidst chaos. It serves as both a physical link between communities separated by war and a metaphorical representation of hope for peace. One cannot help but be captivated by the serene presence of St. Anthony's monastery perched atop one of these towering rocks. Its strategic location offers protection while also providing spiritual sanctuary for those seeking divine intervention during troubled times. This photograph not only documents historical events but also invites contemplation on themes such as isolation, faith, and humanity's ability to find harmony even in the most challenging circumstances. Through its monochromatic palette and evocative composition, it transports us back to an era where conflicts shaped lives yet did not extinguish our innate yearning for peace and unity.
