EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The British Occupation of Cyprus, General View of the Landing-Place at Larnaca, from the Anchorage" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the arrival of British forces in Cyprus during their occupation. The scene depicts a bustling landing-place at Larnaca, with military boats and tugboats dotting the coastal waters. Horses can be seen on land, indicating the transportation of troops and supplies for this strategic operation. The general view captures both the beauty of the coastline and its significance as a maritime hub. This image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on August 17,1878. It provides valuable insight into how news was disseminated during that era and serves as a historical record of this pivotal event. Now part of a private collection, this print allows us to reflect upon Britain's involvement in Cyprus and its impact on both nations' histories. Through its intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, it transports viewers back to that momentous time when new alliances were formed and territories were reshaped. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also its ability to evoke curiosity about our shared pasts.
