Cypriote peasants, 1878
Scope and Contents
157 x 115 mm. Woodburytype. A view showing two Cypriot men seated in a courtyard: 'The two men represented in this picture were selected at random from a throng of peasants, such as may be seen any day in the streets of Larnaca. The man on the right, standing erect in his native attire, was a powerful and picturesque specimen of his race ... He was a native of an inland village, and had been down to Larnaca with produce. He had a fine, open, expressive countenance, and nothing would have afforded him greater pleasure than to have acted as the guide and protector of any stranger who desired to visit his country home' (Thomson 1879, vol.1, p.10).
