The caption on this glass negative identifies its subject as Greek refugees at Aleppo, a city in northern Syria on the rail and caravan routes linking Anatolia to the Mediterranean. Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied photographs to newspapers, catalogued the image, but its record gives no date, and the title comes from agency data that has not been independently verified. Many Christians displaced from Anatolia moved through Aleppo during and after the First World War, so the picture likely reflects that period of flight, though its exact circumstances are unrecorded.
