Views of Greece and Turkey seem to be very popular. Fortunately I have now managed to get the Greek section at least to a respectable level.

Greece

Underwood seems to have had a goodly interest in Greece. Under the Jarvis imprint they issued an extensive series in 1897 on light mounts. In 1901 they seem to have rephotographed most of the views and issued a new series on dark mounts. Some of these negs were then used later for the Keystone series of the 1920s. The dark mount 1901 series are mostly in mint condition with a good curve and high gloss. I have graded them 9 instead of 10 in case I miss a slight mark or blemish. Those graded '8' have slight marks. The scanner has reflected light on some of these. All the DARK mount views bear full descriptive text on the back unless otherwise mentioned, normally the Underwood/Jarvis views on light mounts have title in six languages only.
