Notes Unknown donor and date, but possibly taken by the same photographer the group C 2451-C 2460 which are listed the negative register. Latest date is based on many others in that group which appear in the 1925 slide accession list. They are half plate negatives depicting various sites including Knossos, Mycenae, Delos, Athens and Olympia, Messene with no donor listed.
