About the Book

1917. A crucial year for Athens and the French School. At no other time have the fates of the oldest French research establishment abroad, its city and its host country become so entangled. On the sidelines of the Great War that was shaking Europe, and at the heart of the National Schism that tore apart Greece, the French School of Athens, which had to close its doors for the first and only time in its history, resumed its activities on the occasion of the arrival, or rather the return of the French Army of Orient and Venizelos of Thessaloniki, in June 1917. A page of history was turned for the School, for Greece and soon for the city of Athens, which would soon undergo radical transformations. On the occasion of the centenary of the First World War, the French School of Athens had to participate in the (re) writing of history, as well of these formative years and crucial for Greece, as of this front from the East, so important, and yet forgotten. With the support of the Centennial Mission of the First World War in France, she initiated a vast research program on the Army of the Orient and its presence in Greece. This catalog accompanies the exhibition presented for the first time at the Benaki Museum in Athens in September 2017, then intended to travel in Europe and elsewhere. It contains 110 unpublished images of French military photographers and offers us an impressive panorama of a forgotten historic moment and a city that has been transformed. Not to mention the propaganda goals, we can only be amazed by the often "tourist", sometimes ethnographic, look of these photographers. Knowing connoisseurs of ancient culture but also influenced by a two-year stay in Thessaloniki, so "oriental" and so multicultural, they seem surprised to discover a city so different and so "provincial" authentic, to the point of making the majority of their catches for the year 1917. Thanks to the detailed comments that accompany many of these photos and which allowed their location, the reader now has a historical, urban and architectural guide of a phase largely unknown to the life of the Greek capital.
