The brothers Konstantinos and Aristotelis Romaidis made a name for themselves as photographers in Bucharest. In 1876, they settled in Athens and opened their photo studio. They used calotype, a photographic process introduced in the middle of the 19th century to photograph monuments. They collaborated with many archaeological schools and produced memorable photographs of ancient Olympia for the German Archaeological Institute at Athens. These were published in a series of volumes under the title “Die Ausgrabungen zu Olympia”. In 1878, they published a photo album with photographs of Heinrich Schliemann’s excavation in Mycenae. In 1896, the Romaides brothers photographed the first international Olympic Games held in modern history in Athens.
