EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, transports us back in time to Thessaloniki, Greece, specifically to Great Vardar Street, also known as Grande Rue de Vardar. Thessaloniki, a vibrant and multicultural city located in the northern part of Greece, was then under Ottoman Turkish control. The image showcases the bustling street scene, with its cobblestone road lined with shops and people going about their daily business. The striped awning of a shop can be seen in the foreground, providing shade to the passersby. A horse-drawn carriage makes its way through the crowd, adding to the sense of movement and activity. Great Vardar Street was once the heart of the city's commercial district, and its rich history is evident in this photograph. The Ottoman Empire's influence is apparent in the architecture, with traditional Turkish houses and mosques visible in the background. The diverse population of Thessaloniki is reflected in the various ethnic groups represented in the crowd. Despite the passage of time, this photograph serves as a reminder of the city's rich and complex history, which has been shaped by various civilizations and empires over the centuries. Today, Thessaloniki is a thriving metropolis that continues to draw visitors from around the world, eager to explore its unique blend of cultures and history.
