EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Les vepres Atheniennes; le depart des ministres ennemis d'Athenes : photographie prise le 22 novembre sur le quai royal de Pirée, ou était accosté le paquebot "Mykali"" (Departure of enemy ministers from Athens: photograph taken on November 22 on the royal quay of Piraeus, where the liner "Mykali" was docked), dates back to the tumultuous year of 1916 during the First World War. The image, part of the Collection de la Guerre IV in the publication "L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Décembre 1916," captures a significant moment in history as enemy ministers bid farewell to Athens, boarding the "Mykali" liner on the quayside of Piraeus. The photograph is a fascinating snapshot of the era, with the men dressed in formal attire, donning suits and hats, as they prepare to embark on their journey. The women, also elegantly dressed, accompany their male counterparts, adding a sense of sophistication to the scene. The group stands on the deck, some leaning on the railing, while others are deep in conversation. The "Mykali," a majestic ocean liner, looms in the background, its silhouette stark against the water. The image offers a glimpse into the political climate of the time, with the ministers leaving Athens likely in response to the escalating conflicts at the Macedonian and Salonika fronts. The photograph's unknown creator masterfully captures the mood of the moment, leaving us to ponder the events that led to this departure and the impact it had on the war effort. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography as a historical record, allowing us to witness a moment in time that might otherwise be lost to history. Its timeless quality and the intrigue it generates make it a valuable addition to any collection.
