Here is another image from my stray photograph collection. This time it came all the way to British Columbia from Greece. There is no personal name with the photograph.

Here is the back of this carte de visite. I believe the photographer in Athens was Xenofontos Vathis. Michèle Hannoosh mentions him in her article, published on-line in 2016, "Practices of Photography: Circulation and Mobility in the Nineteenth-Century Mediterranean", History of Photography, 40:1, 3-27, DOI:10.1080/03087298.2015.1123830.
