Vintage Photos - Spyros Nikolakakis - 31.05.2026

Photograph in Livadi, Kythira. Late 1930s, maybe early 1940s. The girl in the middle is my mother Kyriakoula Kalligerou (Nikolakaki), today 93 years old. Behind her is my grandmother Eleni Kalligerou and in front of her is my aunt Chrysanthi Travasarou. I do not know the others. The photographs of that era were not simply a group depiction of people. They constitute a small cultural document that combines history, sociology and collective memory, capturing the way of life, the values and the aesthetics of an entire era & especially when the group was more important than individuality.
