This work captures the Greek city of Thessaloniki during an era of pivotal change, captured through the photography of Daniel Baud-Bovy.

1913 saw the result of the Balkan Wars, when Thessaloniki came under Greek administration (1912-13) following Ottoman rule. In 1919, following World War I, the city was affected by post-war treaties and population movements, including the Treaty of Neuilly, the Greek and Ottoman population exchanges, among others.
