Notes Date based on Dawkins' travel to Cappadocia to study Greek dialects between 1909 and 1911. In the introduction of his 1916 book A Modern Greek in Asia Minor ( p. 1), he mentions villages by the year he visited and plates at the end of the book are maps of the area. Written on the card: "Soghanlu. rock-cut dwellings" Large label with a red "S" on the card denoting that a slide was made of this image. The image was used for the 1936 Exhibition of Minoan Civilization and the first 50 years work of the BSA at Burlington House in London (337c).
