  Eleftherios Venizelos (1864-1936), Prime Minister of Greece from 1910-1920 (and later again from 1928-1932): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleftherios_Venizelos This photograph, according to the note scratched into the negative at the bottom, was taken on November 20, 1916.

• swanq said:

  Over December 1915 and January 1916, Venizelos was in the NYT almost daily over disputes/discussions with King Constantine of Greece over his premiership and strategies for Greece wrt WWI. Example from Jan 5, 1916 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0A15FF3B5B1773... Headline: KING CONSTANTINE TURNS TO VENIZELOS; Ex-Premier Declines to Return to Power at Present -- Greece May Yet Join Allies. His identity was the subject of a question in a quiz intended to assess the familiarity of college students with current affairs and the "European War.". From the headline: "Questions About Men Named Daily in the Newspapers Brought Ludicrous Replies." The students had the most trouble with, "Who is Venizelos?" See NYT of Jan 11, 1916 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40A13FC3B5B1773...
