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.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
