Athenes vue en avion; le Piree
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken in 1916, showcasing an aerial view of Athens and its main port, Piraeus. The image, a part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII," offers a unique perspective of the city during the First World War. From the vantage point of an airplane, Athens' urban landscape unfolds, with the city's iconic buildings and winding streets forming an intricate mosaic. However, the primary focus of the photograph lies in the bustling Piraeus port, where several allied warships are anchored. Notable among them are the "Provence" and "Libya," their silhouettes stark against the calm waters. The photograph serves as a testament to the strategic importance of Athens and Piraeus during the First World War. The city, then the capital of Greece, was a significant hub for trade and transportation, making it a vital target for various European powers. The presence of allied warships in the port reflects the ongoing military engagements in the Macedonian and Salonika fronts. The image, though devoid of color, is rich in historical significance. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the city's wartime transformation and the role it played during the First World War. The photograph's inclusion in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII" further underscores its historical importance, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on the First World War, aerial photography, or the history of Athens.
