Mary Alison Frantz (September 27, 1903 – February 1, 1995) was an archaeological photographer and a Byzantine scholar. With degrees in Classical and Byzantine Studies, she traveled to Greece where she joined the Athenian Agora Excavations. She was the Agora's official photographer from 1939 until 1964 and is especially renowned for her photographs of Greek sculpture. As an archaeologist, she contributed to a better understanding and appreciation of the post-classical layers of the Agora excavations with publications on the Byzantine and Ottoman material.
Early life and education
Mary Alison Frantz[1] was born on 27 September 1903 in Duluth, Minnesota, the youngest of five children.[2] Her father, a newspaper publisher, died of pneumonia soon afterwards;[4] her Scottish mother moved the family to Edinburgh. Frantz received her first camera there, as a gift from her brother. After two years, the family returned to the United States. Her mother settled the family in Princeton: Frantz later credited this decision to the proximity of Princeton University, though she said that this was intended "for [her] brothers, of course".[3]
Frantz graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in classics from Smith College, a women's liberal arts college, in 1924.[5] Among her teachers at Smith was the art historian Clarence Kennedy, whose use of photography to record ancient and renaissance sculpture, aiming to minimise personal style in favour of documentary accuracy, influenced Frantz's later work.[6] She subsequently spent the 1924–1925 academic year as a fellow of the American Academy in Rome,[3] during which she made her first visit to Greece.[7]
Between 1927 and 1929, Frantz worked at Princeton University for the historian Charles Rufus Morey, researching for his Index of Christian Art.[8] In 1929, she was appointed as one of the first fellows of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA).[9] She spent the 1929–1930 academic year at the ASCSA, during which she took her first photographs of ancient Greek monuments.[10] As part of this, she visited Thessaloniki in 1930, where she was given a tour of the Basilica of Saint Dimitrios, a Byzantine church dating to the seventh century CE, by Aristotelis Zachos, the architect who had restored the basilica after its destruction by fire in 1917.[11]
Frantz carried out her doctoral studies into Byzantine art with Morey,[12] a prolific supervisor of Byzantine scholars and conduit for the movement of junior scholars between Princeton and the ASCSA. As Princeton did not accept women as students, Frantz's PhD was awarded, in 1937, by Columbia University.[13]
Early career
Frantz started her career in the Athenian Agora Excavations in January 1934,[14] as an assistant of Lucy Talcott in the Record Department. Frantz had been fascinated by photography from a young age, seeing her brother developing photographs in his dark room, and soon she turned to archaeological photography.[15] She started helping Herman Wagner, the official photographer of the Agora and by 1939 she became the official photographer. Just before the Second World War, Frantz was charged with the task to photograph in two days more than six hundred tablets of Linear B, discovered by the famous American archaeologists Carl Blegen in the Mycenaean palace of Pylos. It was largely these photographs that facilitated the decipherment of the Linear B script by Michael Ventris.[16]
Second World War and aftermath
Following the Italian invasion of Greece in October 1940, archaeological work in the country was suspended.[17] Several archaeologists of the ASCSA, led by Rodney Young and Benjamin Meritt, founded the American School Committee for Aid to Greece, which purchased ambulances to send to Greek forces. Frantz joined the committee alongside T. Leslie Shear, who had worked with her on the Agora excavations, Talcott, Edward Capps, George Elderkin, Hetty Goldman and Oscar Broneer. The committee organized a benefit concert to raise funds; Frantz and Talcott also collaborated on a book of photographs, This Is Greece. The royalties for the work, published in 1941, were used for the committee's work.[18] By the end of January 1942, the committee had distributed $24,500 (equivalent to $456,868 in 2023) for aid to Greece.[19]
Frantz moved to Washington, D.C., where she became a fellow at the Dumbarton Oaks research institute.[17] In the summer of 1941, she and Young received a grant of $1,000 (equivalent to $20,715 in 2023) to compile an index of the first ten volumes of Hesperia, the school's academic journal. Young left the project and joined the Office of Strategic Services, the intelligence agency of the United States, later that year. Frantz finished creating a set of alphabetic index cards, covering almost the whole index, before herself joining the OSS in the summer of 1942.[20]
Frantz and Young were among several British and American archaeologists, including Carl Blegen, Meritt, Shear and the British Alan Wace, to serve in Allied intelligence services in Greece.[21] She was recommended to the OSS by Meritt, then head of the Greek section of the organization's Foreign Nationalities Branch (FNB), for whom she had worked part-time as an indexer at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.[22] At the OSS, she initially worked in the Research and Analysis (R&A) branch, before moving later in 1942 to work as an assistant and political analyst for Blegen,[23] who succeeded Meritt in September of that year.[24] The FNB was primarily tasked with interviewing people resident in the United States from European and Mediterranean ethic groups, and would interview and record their views on the politics and situation of their native countries. Frantz's official title was Junior Social Science Analyst; her work primarily focused on interviewing political exiles from Nazi-occupied Europe.[1] She and Blegen were based in Washington, D.C., and she remained with Blegen as he moved to lead the FNB's Miscellaneous Languages section.[25] Late in 1942, Blegen moved to head the FNB's Chancery; Frantz once again moved with him, and was promoted to senior political analyst.[26] In 1944, James Murphy, the head of the OSS's X-2 Counter Espionage Branch, unsuccessfully attempted to recruit Franz for counterintelligence work.[27]
Post-war government service
After the end of the war, the ACSCA was used as a conduit for US policy in Greece, particularly for the implementation of the Marshall Plan of economic aid.[28] In 1946, alongside Blegen, Frantz was appointed to the Allied Mission for Observing the Greek Elections (AMFOGE), an organization of observers and statisticians sent by Britain, France and the United States to ensure the fairness of that year's elections, held on 31 March, to the Hellenic Parliament.[29] Frantz arrived in Athens on January 8, where she and Blegen, based at the latter's home at 9 Ploutarchou Street, created a training course in Greek history, politics and culture for the other American members of the AMFOGE. The two delivered the course in Naples in the following February, during which time they were trained in first aid, map-reading and physical conditioning, as well as in how to drive and repair a Jeep.[30]
Frantz briefly worked, in 1946, for the US Information Service, the public affairs agency for the United States abroad.[31] Between 1946 and 1949, she served as cultural attaché of the US embassy in Athens, following Blegen in the role.[33] In this capacity, she established the Fulbright Program in Greece, which sent ten scholars and eight senior research fellows to the ASCSA in 1949.[34]
Later career
Between 1954 and 1957,[35] Frantz and the archaeologist John Travlos supervised the restoration of the eleventh-century Church of the Holy Apostles, the only surviving Byzantine building in the Agora.[36] Around 1958, she climbed Mount Pentelicus alongside the art historian Rhys Carpenter, guided by Homer Thompson, the director of the Agora excavations, to photograph an unfinished marble colossal statue near the summit.[37]
Frantz remained the official photographer of the Agora excavations until 1964.[7] She left the project to return to live in Princeton, and focused her work on collaborating on books with other archaeologists. This included travelling to Olympia with the British archaeologist Bernard Ashmole and the Greek archaeologist Nicholas Yalouris, where she photographed the sculptures of the Temple of Zeus.[38] Frantz considered her work on this expedition to be the best of her career.[39]
In 1966, Frantz visited the Greek island of Sikinos for two days, during which she correctly questioned the identification of what was then known as the island's Temple of Apollo Pythius. She secured permission from the Greek Archaeological Service to excavate the structure: she, Travlos and Thompson, returned in the last week of May 1967 to do so. Their work revealed that the so-called temple was in fact a monumental Roman tomb, dating from the second to third centuries CE.[40] An exhibition of Frantz's photography was held at Smith College in October–November 1967.[41] The latter exhibition focused on her images of Minoan and Mycenaean artefacts from Crete: her work in this field included images of the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus.[42]
The archaeological historian Kostis Kourelis has suggested that Frantz, after her return to the United States, tried to establish herself as a fine-art photographer rather than as producing archaeological documentation: he notes that her last excavation photographs were taken in 1968.[43] Smith College hosted a further exhibition of her work in 1984, which included photographs of her cats alongside more conventional archaeological material.[44] Frantz suffered a stroke in 1994, which affected her speech and movement.[45] On January 27, 1995, she was struck by a truck near her home in Princeton; she died on February 1 at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.[7]
Assessment and legacy
An obituary in The New York Times described Frantz as "one of the foremost archaeological photographers of Greek sites and antiquities".[7] The quality of her photography of the Pylos Linear B tablets was praised by researchers including Ventris, John Chadwick and Sterling Dow, for whom the photographs were the only means of studying the tablets during the Second World War, as the originals were held in secure storage in Athens.[46] In 2005, the archaeologist John K. Papadopoulos listed her among the foremost photographers of ancient Greek monuments.[47] John Camp, who directed the Agora excavations, was quoted shortly before Frantz's death as saying "when one thinks of the great photos of the past fifty years, the name of a single individual comes to mind – Alison Franz".[45]
Frantz worked on Late Antiquity at a time when the field suffered from general scholarly neglect: her biographers Amy Papalexandrou and Marie Mauzy have credited her with contributing to the reassessment of the period from one of "degeneracy" to a respectable field of research.[10] Kourelis writes that she "single-handedly created a field of Byzantine studies" for her work on the Agora.[48]
Her main contribution in the field of archaeology and history of the Athenian Agora was that she insisted on a diachronic exploration of archaeological sites. In the case of the Athenian Agora excavations, she focused her interest in recording and studying the post-classical periods, especially Late Antiquity and Byzantium. She was one of the first scholars to publish on the Byzantine and Ottoman collection of finds from the Agora.
Frantz was one of relatively few women working professionally in either photography or archaeology during her lifetime.[10] As a photographer, Frantz captured with her camera 25 years (1939–64) of discoveries, people and archaeological life in the Athenian Agora. Her talent for archaeological photography was widely recognized and she traveled all around the Mediterranean, photographing archaeological sites and especially Greek sculpture. She is most famous for her photographs of the Parthenon frieze and of the sculptures of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia.[49] The archive of Frantz's photographs and negatives is divided between the American School of Classical Studies[50] and at Princeton University.[51] In accordance with Frantz's instructions, the ASCSA received the works that she considered useful to classical archaeologists and art historians, while Princeton's Firestone Library received her personal photographs.[52] Most of these were hitherto unpublished; writing in The Princeton University Library Chronicle, Patricia H. Marks called the Frantz archive "an archaeologist's dream".[53]
