Descrizione
TodaySantoriniis visited by some 2.5 million people a year. But when Robert McCabe and his brother arrived there in 1954, they were the only visitors on the island. In thiscollection of stunning photographs from the 1950s and 1960s— reproduced as tritones of surpassing quality — McCabe has recorded the hardscrabble, yet often romantic, life of a vanished era.Picturesque whitewashed housesdug into the volcanic pumice; the harvest of the island’s famouscherry tomatoes; the winding road tothe ruins of ancient Thera— all this was captured by his lens. McCabe’s photographs are complemented bytwo essays from the noted Greek journalist Margarita Pournara, one poetically evoking her grandmother’s childhood on Santorini and the other explaining the geological forces that have given this volcanic island its dramatic form.
