Views of the Acropolis. 1860s. 6 albumen prints, mounted to board. Each between ca. 24 x 32 cm and 27 x 38 cm or reverse (mounts 32,5 x 42,5 cm or reverse). Most signed in the negative in lower margin.

The photographs in this lot include panoramic views of the Acropolis hill with the Parthenon, the Propylaea, and the Temple of Athena Nike, as well as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus at its southern slope. Closer studies focus on architectural and sculptural details, notably sections of the Parthenon frieze and other relief fragments, forming a coherent early photographic record of the Acropolis and its classical remains.
