Bild als Botschaft. Das antike Erbe Athens in fotografischen Zeugnissen des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts (Image as Message. The antique heritage of Athens in photographic documents of the 19th and 20th century)

Research in depth on the reason why photography was essential to
the development of art historical studies of Greek antiques.
Photographs of antiquities in Athens not only reveal the history
of photography, but also exemplify the social use of, and demand
for, photographic documentation. Museum photography is
described, as is the 'expedition' of the Alinari Firm to Athens
(1894- 1896). Attention is also paid to the development of
photographic archives, such as the 1912 catalog of the DAI
(Deutschen Archäologischen Institutes) which lists 2147
negatives on Athens. Modern postcards are also analysed. (The
article was a result of research done for project ""The antique
inheritance in modern big cities'', issued by the International
Centre for the Conservation of Historic Towns and Buildings,
University of Leuven, Belgium.) (German)
