EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image transports us back in time to Thessaloniki, Greece, during the Ottoman Empire era, circa 1903. The scene unfolds in the Champs de Mars, a sprawling open space that once served as a parade ground and recreational area for the city's residents. In this photograph, we witness an intriguing cavalry exercise, a testament to the military might and discipline of the Ottoman forces. The cavalry troops, dressed in their ornate uniforms and adorned with decorative accoutrements, are seen engaging in a drill, showcasing their horsemanship skills and coordination. Their horses, equally well-trained, prance and gallop in rhythm with their riders' commands. The officers, dressed in their distinctive attire, oversee the exercise, providing guidance and direction. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessaloniki, was an essential city in the Ottoman Empire, boasting a rich cultural tapestry that blended various influences from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The presence of military forces was a common sight, reflecting the strategic importance of the city as a key trading hub and a gateway to Europe. This postcard offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual narrative of a bygone era and a testament to the historical significance of Thessaloniki. The cavalry exercise in Champs de Mars serves as a reminder of the city's vibrant history and its role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of the region.
