EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Grand Street of Beche-Tchinar in Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1907. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is the second-largest city in Greece and a major cultural melting pot, located in the northern part of the country. In this image, we see a bustling street scene filled with activity. A horse-drawn tram makes its way down the grand boulevard, its clattering wheels leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The tram is surrounded by a sea of people, many of whom are dressed in the fashionable attire of the early 20th century. The architecture of the buildings lining the street is a fascinating blend of European and Middle Eastern influences, reflecting the city's rich history and diverse cultural heritage. The Grand Street of Beche-Tchinar was one of the most prominent commercial districts in Thessaloniki during this period. It was named after the Beche-Tchinar family, who were prominent merchants and philanthropists in the city. The street was known for its grandiose buildings, elegant shops, and vibrant bazaars, which attracted visitors from all over Europe and the Middle East. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn trams, elegant fashion, and bustling commerce. It is a reminder of Thessaloniki's rich history and its role as a cultural crossroads between Europe and the Middle East.
