EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of two Albanian soldiers proudly standing at attention in traditional costume in the bustling city of Salonica, now known as Thessaloniki in Greece. The year is uncertain, but the scene is believed to have been captured during the early 20th century, a time when the city was a melting pot of diverse cultures and ethnicities. The Albanian soldiers, dressed in their traditional attire, wear the distinctive red fez hats, embroidered vests, and long, flowing trousers. Each man holds a rifle at the ready, their expressions serious and determined. The backdrop of the photograph is the vibrant and bustling streets of Salonica, filled with people and activity. Salonica, located in northern Greece, has a rich and complex history, with a significant Albanian population. The city has been ruled by various empires throughout history, including the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Greeks. The Albanian community in Salonica has a long and proud history, and their presence in the city has shaped its cultural landscape in many ways. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, capturing a moment in time when two Albanian soldiers stood tall and proud in their hometown, ready to defend their culture and traditions. The image is a testament to the resilience and strength of the Albanian people, and the enduring legacy of their history in Salonica and beyond.
