Dimitrios Constantin, Greek, active 1859–1870s

Dimitris Konstaninou’s work portrays topographical views of historic sites and archaeological excavations in the environs of Athens and further afi eld. Here Konstantinou’s photograph renders the jumbled strata of history: from the newly laid road in the foreground to the Roman-era theater, then up the medieval stonework on the Acropolis to the Parthenon, which overlooks all at top right.
