EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during the Greco-Turkish War in February 1897. In this chromolitho artwork by the European School of the 19th century, we witness Christians seeking refuge in the rugged mountains of Crete. The image depicts a scene of desperation and resilience as these individuals flee from the horrors of war. The composition is filled with emotion and tells a story of survival amidst chaos. The towering mountains serve as both a physical barrier and a symbol of hope for these refugees. As they navigate treacherous terrain, their determination to find safety is palpable. This educational card, created in the late 19th or early 20th century, serves as a reminder of historical events that shaped Greece's past. It sheds light on the struggles faced by Cretan Christians during this turbulent period. The chromolitho technique used to create this print adds depth and vibrancy to every detail captured within it. From the expressions on each person's face to their worn-out clothing, every element contributes to an immersive experience that transports us back in time. As we observe this powerful image, let us remember those who sought refuge in times of conflict and honor their strength and resilience throughout history. This photograph stands as a testament to human endurance and serves as an important reminder never to forget our shared pasts.
