What did rooms look like in 1910s Greece?

I have been struggling for a few hours now to find photos of Greek interiors from the 1910s, but I haven’t found much and I’m probably just going to give up now. I didn’t think that it would be too much to ask for a photo that somebody took inside of a rural home a century ago, but I should have known better. —(((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 17:28, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This book covers the architecture of Greece during the time period. It may be a good lead for you. --Jayron 32 18:32, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting question. These are some photos I found on Commons:

“Kleisoura, Kastoria inside mansion, 1911”
“La chambre du Capitaine Mandakas”, Platanias, 1919
Naxos, 1919
Kardiani, Tinos, 1919
Monastery, Santorin, 1919
“Le khani de Haghia-Varvara”, Gortyna, 1919

Finding a few rural by Frédéric Boissonnas from here: (Andritsena house, 1903, Interior of a Cretan house, 1911, Interior of a house in Lakki, Crete 1911) led me to here, with a large collection, which may or may not be MOMus–Thessaloniki Museum of Photography. fiveby(zero) 22:04, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
