Athenes vue en avion; L'Acropole. Le Zappeion et le Palais de Roi
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken from an airplane, showcasing an aerial view of Athens, the ancient capital city of Greece, during the first world war in 1916. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" and provides a unique perspective of the city's iconic landmarks, including the Acropolis, Zappeion, and the Royal Palace. During the early 1900s, the use of aircraft for military reconnaissance and aerial photography became increasingly common. This photograph, taken during the Macedonian and Salonika fronts of the first world war, offers a rare glimpse into the city's layout and architecture from an unparalleled vantage point. The Acropolis, an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city, stands proudly at the heart of the image, its ancient ruins and modern buildings juxtaposed against each other. The Zappeion, an iconic neoclassical building, and the Royal Palace, a grand edifice of the Hellenic monarchy, are also clearly visible, providing a snapshot of Athens' rich architectural heritage. The photograph's title, "Athenes vue en avion; L'Acropole. Le Zappeion et le Palais de Roi," translates to "Athens seen from a plane; The Acropolis. Zappeion and Royal Palace," offering a succinct yet descriptive title for this image. The photograph's origin is unknown, adding to its allure and mystery, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or images of Athens and the first world war era.
