Abstract
An exhibition of famous and much praised images of scenes from the Greek War of Independence, giving visitors a rare opportunity to enjoy these remarkable works close up. On show are 12 of the 24 hand coloured collotypes issued in a limited edition album in 1926 by the well-known Swiss photographer Frédéric Boissonnas, at the instigation of the collector John Gennadius, who had rediscovered the long lost watercolours which the collotypes reproduce. Curators: Natasha Lemos, Olympia Pappa.
