Félix Sartiaux et Phocée, Eski Foça, Παλαιά Φώκια

Abstract

The stereoscopic plates by the archaeologist Felix Sartiaux made in 1913, 1914 and 1920 in Phocaea are an exceptional and unique testament on the events of June 1914. Recovered by chance, as happened with Sartiaux notes, they illustrate the life in the city before the destruction, the violent expulsion of all the Greek-ottoman population in 24 hours and the magnitude of the destructions that were witnessed, in 1919, by residents returning to their homes.
