EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Smyrna, nestled on the picturesque Aegean coast of Turkey. The image showcases the grandeur of Smyrna with its iconic New Statue of Ioonia standing tall against the backdrop of a bustling port and barracks. The photograph, captured on 2 August 1922, exudes an air of historical significance as it transports us to a bygone era. It offers a glimpse into the vibrant life that once thrived within these ancient walls. The monochrome tones lend an added sense of nostalgia, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty and architectural splendor that defined this coastal gem. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in the rich cultural tapestry that was Smyrna. We envision merchants trading their wares along its lively streets, sailors navigating through its busy harbor, and locals going about their daily lives amidst this breathtaking setting. Central News has masterfully preserved this precious moment from history through their Europeana photography collection. This remarkable piece not only serves as a visual testament to Smyrna's past but also invites us to reflect upon our own connection with heritage and tradition. In essence, this print is more than just an image; it is a portal into another world – one filled with tales waiting to be discovered and memories waiting to be relived.
