Selling bread, 1878
Scope and Contents
85 x 107 mm. Woodburytype. A portrait of an old woman seated on a chair, with a basket on her lap: 'In the features of this old dame, who earns her living by selling bread in Larnaca, there still linger traces of youthful comeliness. Her thin locks are silvered with age, and the years, as they dragged heavily along, have furrowed her brow. Yet her eye is clear and bright and wears a look of calm contentment ... She might, indeed, pass for an old Scotch crone ...' (Thomson 1879, vol.1, p.7).
