This archive comprises 1 file of 136 records covering the period when prince George was High Commissioner of the Cretan State (1898-1906). This is an album created by the prince himself and it contains personal photographs and his visits to Crete. The photographs were taken by Periklis Diamantopoulos, personal photographer of the prince.

The collection includes postal cards from the period 1904-1918. They depict places of Macedonia, economic activities of the rural population and portraits of Macedonian Fighters (Makedonomachoi). Most of the postal cards have notes in French.

The photographic material of the archive emanates from various sources. The main subject of the collection is Greek Vlachs, whereas an important part includes the unknown -until recently- artistic creations of brothers Manakia, the photographers who were the pioneers of the cinema in the Balkans. The collection depicts scenes from the late 19th and the early of the 20th century; included are photographs of typical patters of settlements and Vlah population around 1900. Considering the collection as a total, helps reversing several stereotypical theories as well as understanding the various cultural, social and economic identities of the Vlach populations.

The album includes 423 photographs of the period 1904-1908, which depict cities and communities/towns of Greek Macedonia, the social and economic life in villages of Greek Macedonia, as well as the urban landscape of Thessaloniki.
