| Notes | Latest date is based on the listing in the SPHS slide accession list. Although there is plan of Ancient Thera annotated with Spanger's photographs and angles taken (Portfolio of plans giving the position of photographs and slides presented by J.A. Spranger, held by the Hellenic and Roman Library at the Institute of Classical Studies, London), there is no date written on the plan. The plan also only shows photographs preceded with XIV, not X . Written on the negative: "Thera: the ???? ?????? phallus". |
