New Newspaper YEAR IB΄, NUMBER 169 Friday, June 18, 1893. The newspaper Rambagas announced in June 1882 that due to the multiplication of pickpockets, citizens decided to establish an anti-pickpocket association. Every member bears on their back a sign where the phrase "Approach is prohibited" is clearly written. The pickpockets responded by establishing their own association. Every member bears on their chest the inscription: "Grab to eat and steal to live."

BACK COVER. People crossed paths in the streets and neighborhoods, they gave the pulse of everyday life, painting with the warm and cold colors of their emotions, again and again, the changing landscape of the city. They played roles of protagonists or silent characters, dynamic or apathetic spectators, orchestrated into the anonymous crowd of named members of the community. […] The face of Athens would be colorless, with a vacant gaze, without their presence, their stories, their lives. History needs microhistory, aspects of which are captured in the heat of the moment in the columns of newspapers and recorded in the collective memory; the memory of the city.
