| Cyprus where this shot was taken in 1922-3 was obviously
the refuge for the family just after the fire. There is a note to state
that Martin, son of William Williamson not present because he was at school
in England. Both photos were ‘face named’ by Ronald Henderson in 1983. |
|
| Location quite possibly Nymph Dağ [mountain] near Kemalpaşa (around 20 km. inland from Smyrna). |
|
| The Williamson family surrounded by their children (1870s?). |
|
|
| Willliam Lewis (Leila Williamson’s husband) homestead somewhere
in Turkey; however a later submission by Levant enthusiast Achilleas Chatziconstantinou
shows this photo to be taken in Sokia as the lower archive photo’s bridge
style proves. The photo is a postcard, published in the Greek book: “Astygraphia
tis Elassonos Asias” (=urban geography of Asia Minor) by the late Lisa Michelis,
Athens 1992, ISBN 960-85241-0-5, Galateia Editions. According to the researcher Cenk Berkant, this bridge and the buildings by it have not survived till today. |
