BW/Colour: Black and white City: Athens Country: Greece Date range: 10-01-1977 till @@-@@-@@@@ Description: A busy urban street with filled with cars and pedestrians. At a distance, the Acropolis is seen perched atop a hill. English transcr.: The Acropolis of Athens is in peril: hallowed shrine of Greek civilization, it remains for western culture, the twofold symbol of a conception of life and of an idea of art. Deterioration is due to a variety of causes: air pollution, dilatation of extraneous materials used during previous restoration work, problems of the stability of the monuments and of the rock platform itself, wear and tear caused by tourists. An International Campaign to save the Acropolis was launched on 10 January 1977 with an appeal by Mr. Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow, Director-General of Unesco. The task of protection will be long, difficult and complex. But emergency measures must be taken immediately. In particular, the caryatids will be removed from the Erechtheion to the Acropolis Museum for restoration. The casts are being made to replace them. Similar action is under way to protect the three figures on the west fronton of the Parthenon and the frieze of the Athena Nike. French transcr.: L'Acropole d'Athènes est en danger: haut-lieu de la civilisation grecque, elle demeure pour la culture occidentale le double symbole d'une conception de la vie et d'une idée de l'art. Les causes de dégradation sont multiples : pollution atmosphérique, dilatation des matériaux étrangers utilisés lors de restaurations antérieures, problèmes de stabilité des monuments et du socle rocheux lui-même, usure provoquée par les touristes. Une campagne internationale pour la sauvegarde de l'Acropole a été ouverte le 10 janvier 1977 par un appel de M. Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow, Directeur général de l'Unesco. Les travaux seront complexes, difficiles et longs. Mais, dès à présent, des mesures d'urgence s'imposent. Les caryatides, notamment, seront enlevées de l'Erechthéion et transportées au Musée de l'Acropole pour y être traitées. Les moulages qui les remplaceront sont en cours de fabrication. Il en est de même pour les trois figures du fronton ouest du Parthénon et la frise du temple d'Athéna Niké.
