Antique & Vintage Postcards

Real photo postcard of the Temple of Olympian Zeus (Olympieion) in Athens, Greece, shot from a low angle against a dramatic sky with billowing cumulus clouds. Fifteen surviving Corinthian columns — their fluted shafts and elaborate capitals fully visible — rise from a stone platform scattered with fallen architectural fragments. The high-contrast black-and-white photography gives the image a monumental, almost cinematic quality. No. 5 in series.
