A multitude of articles enlighten the character of European Philhellenism, the part played by art and science, and in particular of the Bavarian administration and Regency in the early years of the newly established Greek Kingdom under Otto I. Particular mention is made of the series of watercolours by Köllnberger, a Bavarian soldier, from Munich's main State Archives, which give a naïve view of the different Greek countrysides, the simple life of the people and the frugal existence of the soldiers. The whole series of these watercolours are shown for the first time and in colour.
The book also serves as a catalogue for a number of exhibitions.
