Bilingual (Greek-English) photographic album. Cloth, 28X25 cm, 240 pp., B/W pictures. Every picture tells a story. A touching photographic journey, captured in over 500 stereoscopic glass plates by the doctor and photographer Nissim Levis, a member of a prominent family in the Romaniote Jewish community of loannina. They were found by chance, in a corner of history and the city, in the possession of a street vendor who invited passersby to examine them by looking into a wooden box, for a fee - "one frank for the panorama, ladies and gentlemen!" A charming voyage in time that starts during the last fifteen years of Ottoman rule in loannina, with stops along the way for the city's major historical events and for visits to some of the world's most cosmopolitan locales of that period.
