EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Candia, Crete, Greece from the early 1900s offers a glimpse into a bygone era of this historic Mediterranean island. The image captures the essence of Victorian charm and Edwardian elegance, with its quaint streets lined with traditional Greek architecture.
The lantern slide quality adds a nostalgic touch to the scene, transporting viewers back in time to when horse-drawn carriages and gas lamps were common sights on the cobblestone streets. The sepia tones evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia, inviting us to imagine what life was like in this bustling town over a century ago.
Candia (now known as Heraklion) is steeped in history, being one of the oldest cities in Europe with roots dating back to ancient times. This photograph showcases the fusion of old-world charm and modernity that defines Candia's unique character.
As we gaze upon this vintage snapshot, we are reminded of the enduring beauty and timeless allure of Greece's cultural heritage. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this precious moment in history for us to appreciate and cherish for generations to come. It serves as a reminder that while times may change, some places remain eternally enchanting.
