Borri B.: A collection of four (4) photos of Athens by Bartholomeo Borri (1842-1924), each one measuring 26x21cm and attached in two period cartons (previous part of a detached album of photos from late 19th century). Numbers in two photos, pencil titles in French in the cartons. Includes two very rare fine and historically important Panoramic captions of Athens, (one from Acropolis towards Lycabettus and the other one from around Solonos and Amerikis actual streets position towards Acropolis), one view of the byzantine church of Panagia Gorgoepikoos and the adjacent then houses and one view of Parthenon. From the existence of many buildings, as the Iliou Melathron and the non existence of others, these photos can be precisely dated between 1887 and 1891. Fine condition, sharp and clear. Some of the best panoramic photos of 19th century Athens.
