Description:
Please see my other stereoviews by Dimitris Constantin. Title in French along the side. This is the Arch of Hadrian (Arc d’Adrien), Athens, Greece.
Dimitris Konstantinou (dates unknown) was one of the earliest Greek photographers. His involvement with photography began in 1854 when he assisted James Robertson and Felix Beato during their visit to Greece. Konstantinou opened his own studio in 1858, specializing in photographs of ancient monuments for the tourist trade, and was the first photographer to work with the Greek Archaeological Society. He participated in various international exhibitions, receiving a silver medal at the first Olympia Exhibition in 1859 and a bronze medal at the 1867 Paris Exposition Universelle. Konstantinou signed his work with various Latinized forms of his name including: D. Costantin, D. Constantin, and D. Constantine, as well as Demetre Constantin and Demetre Constantinidis.
Combined Shipping: I will happily combine shipping for multiple purchases. Please wait for an invoice before paying.
International shipping from the United States is expensive. I generally ship First Class, which is the cheapest way I can ship. Because photographs on cardboard are stiff/rigid/won't bend the package is considered a "parcel" and subject to higher costs than a letter in an envelope. International shipments that total more than $75 will be shipped priority mail and your shipping cost is $36.00. If you doubt the high cost for international shipping of parcels, go to the USPS website & check for yourself. Typical first class packages for one stereoview with cardboard support weighs 3 to 4 ounces.
International Buyers - Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
Other Stuff: I use eBay’s shipping service and only ship to eBay confirmed addresses; that is, shipping labels are printed with your address that you supplied to eBay and your package is going to that address. If you want the package sent elsewhere, go into your “My eBay” account and change your eBay shipping address within the eBay system.
