Celebrating the Greek Revolution: An American photographer in 19th century Athens

One of the scenes that comes to mind when we think of our next trip to Greece is the view as we look up to the Acropolis from its surrounds. There it stands proudly, reminding us all of the glorious history of Athens and Classical Greece. This scene has drawn visitors to Athens and Greece for centuries. As historian Mary Beard writes “the Acropolis is the centerpiece of every Athenian pilgrimage”. One of those who came and sought to document it in the new technology of photography was the American Philhellene, William Stillman. Today I continue my series on celebrating the Greek revolution with the story of William Stillman’s Acropolis.

William James Stillman was born in New York in 1828. A journalist, historian and author, he was also a friend of the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the art critic John Ruskin. He served for a time as a United States diplomat, a role that would bring him to Greece, where he would also exercise his skill in the new art of photography, as well as recording his account of his Greek experiences in a number of books.
