Robert McCabe's 1950s photographs of Greece take the reader on a nostalgic, moving journey. McCabe was one of those foreigners who, across millennia, have fallen in love with Greece, at times understanding it better than the Greeks themselves, choosing to photograph in black and white. Left in drawers for decades, since this talented amateur pursued another career, these unpretentious, sincere images show an often poor but always dignified society, an unfenced Acropolis and archaeologists working with what now seem rudimentary means, a photographic journey that conveys enthusiasm and the happiness of discovery.
