Albumen cabinet card portrait of a Greek Orthodox cleric, photographed by I. Tagiornis in Athens, likely 1890s. The sitter wears the traditional kalymmavchi and full beard associated with Orthodox monastic or priestly dress, posed against a neutral studio backdrop.
Tagiornis operated a well-known photographic studio on Ermou Street, one of Athens’ busiest commercial avenues in the late 19th century. His mounts are recognized for their elaborate printed designs, here showing a finely engraved reverse with allegorical cherubs and studio branding.
Mounted on the original cream card with strong contrast and fine detail. Minor edge wear to mount; print surface clean with only light handling marks.
