Description
This card depicts a crowd of men in front of a narrow two-store building in Salonica (Thessaloniki), Greece, around 1917. The captions on the back of the card point out, in Italian, French, and English, that the building housed a bakery. That bakery was the modern Electrically Powered Bakery, located on the ground floor of the building — as indicated by the red and white sign, in Greek, above the entrance. Above the sign in Greek, there is a Ladino sign in Hebrew script with the words ריסטוראן ב'ארסאנו משה (Resṭoran Varsano Mosheh). That was the kosher restaurant Varsano and Mosse, located on the first floor of the building.
