EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Greece, specifically Crete, in the early 20th century. The English sector of Candia is depicted with its bustling port, Venetian fortifications standing tall against the backdrop of sailboats dotting the harbor. The scene is alive with activity as barrels are stacked high along the waterfront, ready to be loaded onto ships for transport. The architecture reflects a blend of influences from different cultures that have left their mark on this historic island. The Venetian fortifications speak to a time when Crete was under Venetian rule, while the English sector hints at more recent colonial ties. The sailboats add a sense of movement and adventure to the scene, symbolizing both trade and exploration. Each boat tells a story of journeys taken across vast seas, connecting distant lands and people. This photograph is not just a snapshot in time but a window into the rich history and vibrant culture of Crete. It invites viewers to imagine themselves wandering through its streets, soaking in the sights and sounds of this enchanting Mediterranean paradise.
