oblong folio, containing 27 cardstock leaves upon which are mounted 44 original photographs. Many are accompanied by hand written captions on the mounts. Laid in are an additional 15 photographs, many of which are identified in ink on the versos. The images range between 4 x 3 and 8 ½ x 10 inches, with the majority 6 x 9 inches. The typewritten notes of the album's compiler, describing the loose photographs, are mounted to the inside of the front board. The images are in generally very good condition, one image has some mild creasing and a closed tear, some fading. Boards and back-strip worn, some chipping to lower corner of the album's leaves, else very good. The album documents the work of one of the leading archaeologist's of the area in the 19th century, Georg Weber. The present album was presumably compiled by Francis Skinner McVittie (1872-1950) a British businessman who resided in Smyrna, (now Izmir) Turkey in the early 20th century. His notes on the photographs are entitled: Notes on the pictures of Ephesus. 1906. This sheet provides a brief description of the loose photographs in the album, many of these sites are also found in additional images mounted in the album. The last line of the sheet reads: "F.S. McVittie. Smyrna, May 3, 1906." McVittie's notes mention a "Prof. Weber" who is shown in several of the images, Weber is McVittie's father-in-law Georg Weber (18 - 1910) an early archaeological explorer of the Smyrna - Ephesus region. Weber was regarded by his contemporaries as an authority on the classical archaeology of the area. In addition to producing numerous maps and plans, Weber published a number of archaeological articles in the Revue Archeologique, the Revue des Etudes Grecques and in the Mitt. Des Deutch. Archaol. Inst., during the period from 1880-1904. Weber's principal writings consist of three books: Les Sipylos et ses Monuments Ancienne Smyrne (Navlochon), (Paris: 1880); Guide du Voyageur a Ephese, (Smyrne: 1891); Dinair (Gueikler) Cerenes Apamee Cibotos, (Besancon: 1892). Further information about Georg Weber may be found in the Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology (Vol. VII, p. 226, 1882) which contains printed letters that passed between the Secretary of the Society and Weber regarding the Tomb of St. Luke at Ephesus. This particular ruin at Ephesus was a particular interest of Weber's. His conclusion that it was the tomb of St. Luke was accepted by Sir William Ramsay, who referred to Weber's map of the Ephesus region as the only reliable one at that period. Additional information on Weber and Francis McVittie can be found in the writings of George C. McVittie, Francis' son and Weber's grandson, renowned astronomer and professor at the University of Illinois. (The main belt asteroid "2417 McVittie" is named for him.) The younger McVittie was also important as a World War II cryptologist. The city of Smyrna, was captured by Turkish troops in 1922, the McVittie family happened to be on holiday in England when the invasion took place. They never returned to Smyrna. . more information
