Stake attention in this memory
A black and white portrait of Konstantinos Spanoudis, the first president of A.E.K., is displayed in a richly ornamented golden frame against a dark, possibly black, wall. The man, depicted in his middle to later years, wears a suit and tie, gazing slightly to his left with a serious, contemplative expression. Flanking the portrait, biographical text is presented in both Greek and English. The English text, titled "KONSTANTINOS SPANOUDIS," describes him as being born in 1871, a graduate of the Patriarchal Academy of Constantinople, and a student of political science in France and Italy. Upon returning to Constantinople, he published the newspaper "Proodos" (Progress). After the Asia Minor catastrophe, he moved to Athens, joined the Liberal Party of Venizelos, and was elected a member of parliament in 1932. He died in 1941, a few days before the entry of German troops into Athens, with the text quoting him as saying, "«I can't beer to goo this". Above Spanoudis's portrait, a portion of another golden-framed image is visible, along with fragmented text in Greek ("NIKH") and English ("NIKIP") pertaining to a different historical figure, likely from the same organization. The setting appears to be an indoor museum or exhibition space, given the framed portraits and informative plaques on a dark background, consistent with a historical display in Nea Filadelfia, Greece.
