A total of 84 stock certificates are represented, most of them shares or company bonds, accompanied by details of the foundation and history of the issuing companies, the majority of which were based in Thessaloniki. Slipcased; 212 illustrations, most in colour. Prologue by Professor Evangelos Venizelos. English and Greek (bilingual edition).


The economic life of Thessaloniki and Macedonia in general is unfolded through stocks issued by limited companies during an important period of its history (1870-1940), which covered the final years of the Turkish occupation and saw the incorporation of the city and region into the modern Greek state. A total of 84 stocks are presented, most of them shares or company bonds, accompanied by details of the foundation and history of the issuing companies, the majority of which were based in Thessaloniki. The illustrations on the stocks are highly interesting. Their variety of subjects and colour harmony is particularly striking at the present day, when stocks have become immaterial and no longer have their traditional printed form.
