Earliest Photographs of Greece 1850-1900, Athens [Acropolis/Parthenon], Ancient Archaeology & More
Howdy ya’ll. Let’s look at a few of the oldest photographs of Greece, taken in and around Athens, from 1850 through the year 1900. For centuries the landscape which we know today as Greece, with its ancient monuments and unforetold discoveries, was well-known to scholars, but almost off limits to travelers.
With Greek independence, the artworks, relics, and artifacts of Ancient Greece became the centerpiece to many lavish collections, both private and public. With the influx of attention to the area came the need for photographic evidence to coincide with the detailed archeological excavations.
The reign of Ancient Greek architecture can best be showcased in these images. The astounding first images of Athens stood out to me the most. Enjoy the collection of images of Ancient Greece, save any of these photographs, and leave your thoughts & ideas in the comments down below!
