Scope and Content The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Athens: Oil market and Tower of the Winds".
Notes Possibly a commercial negative with the number "62" written in the lower left of the image. A matching caption for an image appears in the 1902 list of photographs of sites in the reference collection (p. lxx) and therefore probably dates no later than 1902.
