With the High Commissioner in Cyprus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Charles Auguste Loye that takes us back to the year 1887. The scene depicts a momentous occasion, as villagers eagerly gather around to witness the arrival of the High Commissioner in Cyprus. The print showcases an array of elements that bring this historical event to life. In the foreground, we see Greek Cypriot villagers and their horses, creating a sense of movement and anticipation. A dust storm swirls around them, adding drama to the atmosphere. To their left stands an old stone church, symbolizing the deep-rooted religious traditions of this region. As our gaze moves towards the background, we are greeted with breathtaking landscapes featuring mountains and windmills scattered across Northern Cyprus. In particular, Kantara Castle stands proudly atop one of these peaks, reminding us of its historical significance. The presence of military camps indicates both protection and potential conflict in this land during that time period. Meanwhile, religious orders represented by priests and clergy members can be seen engaging with local communities. Loye's meticulous attention to detail brings out every architectural aspect: from intricate designs on buildings to public monuments dotting various locations throughout Cyprus. This engraving not only serves as a visual record but also offers insights into social dynamics and cultural exchanges between different religious groups during this era. It is truly a remarkable piece that captures history frozen in time.
