Maynard Owen Williams, a photographer from National Geographic, traveled to Greece in 1919 and captured the beauty of the Greek landscape.
He had been traveling since his youth, wandering in Asia and was in Russia during the October Revolution.
Among his reports, the one describing the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1923 stands out. In the 1920s he traveled to Greece and captured in color photographs the Greek landscape and its people.
