The main street, Limassol. Photographer: Thomson, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
'The accompanying view is taken from the front of the Franciscan monastery, looking westward along the main street which runs parallel to the coast. The courts to the rear of the houses on the left face the sea...The street looks deserted, and is invested with a silence strangely at variance with the business-like aspect and architecture of the town. During the day-time, however, busy traders may be seen through their barred windows or open doorways, bargaining in Oriental fashion, or counting their gains; and in the cool of the evening, when they parade up and down before their stores, the gay costumes of the Greek ladies, and the fashionable attire of their lords, would not disgrace a Parisian boulevard.'
