Description
The Cultural Centre of the Cyprus Popular Bank continuing its tradition presents this publication dedicated to the artistic creativity of Cyprus. It is a dedication with a double value. First, the artistic, presenting as it does for the first time part of the work of the pioneer photographer John P. Foscolo in a manner befitting his art, and secondly, the historical, being an important document of the recent history of the island. The photographs in this Album were taken at the time when Britain took over the administration of Cyprus from the Ottoman Empire. Imporant places are instantly recognisable though they have undergone many changes over the years, while others will be remembered with grief and nostalgia by the elderly, because they now lie in the Turkish occupied area of the island. The album cannot be described as a definitive collection of the photographic work of Foscolo but it does cover the part which is of general interest to the public.
