EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures a momentous occasion in Athens during the 20th century. The image showcases a French naval squadron visiting the Greek capital, with all its grandeur and significance beautifully depicted in this colour lithograph. At the heart of the scene is King George I of Greece, warmly welcomed on board the majestic battleship Suffren by French naval officers. Dressed in their distinguished uniforms, they stand tall and proud as they receive their royal guest. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and respect as sailors line up to salute their king. The visit symbolizes not only a diplomatic exchange between two nations but also highlights the strong bond shared between France and Greece. It serves as a testament to both countries' commitment to maritime cooperation and mutual support. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on July 10,1904 – an influential publication that brought news from around the world to its readers. This image would have undoubtedly captivated audiences at that time, transporting them into this significant moment in history. Today, we can admire this remarkable piece of artistry that immortalizes an extraordinary event where European royalty meets military prowess amidst stunning Athenian scenery. It stands as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of the enduring power of international relationships forged through diplomacy and friendship.
