EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history on Syros Island, Greece, in 1937. Taken by the talented artist Martin Hurlimann, it depicts the shipping of mules, showcasing the bustling activity of the Greek shipping industry during that era. The image showcases a male figure overseeing the loading and unloading process at the quayside port. With ropes, pulleys, and a winch system in place, these hardworking men carefully transport cargo onto boats destined for various locations across the Aegean Sea. The landscape surrounding this scene is breathtakingly picturesque. The tranquil waters of Syros Island provide a stunning backdrop as ships dotting its surface await their turn to be loaded with goods. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into both transportation methods and daily life on this Cycladic island during this time period. Hurlimann's photograph not only documents an important aspect of Greece's maritime industry but also highlights his keen eye for capturing human interaction with their environment. Through his lens, we witness how people worked together to ensure smooth operations within this vital sector. As we admire this monochromatic masterpiece from "Das Mittelmeer: Landschaft, Baukunst und Volksleben im Kreise des Mittellandischen Meeres" we are reminded of how art can preserve moments in time while simultaneously shedding light on historical practices and cultural significance.
