The main street in Limassol. Photographer: Thomson, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
View looking towards heavy stone warehouses, with a group of camels in the foreground: 'In this spacious thoroughfare we find evidence of the prosperity of the town, and at the same time discover indications of the insecurity which prevailed under Turkish rule, in the strongly-built and barred storehouses that line both sides of the street. Many of the walls, with their iron-stanchioned windows, look as if they belonged to the outbuildings of a prison, and are probably the remains of the architectural reformation that followed the advent of the Moslems. Be that as it may, these massive stone structures afford security and coolness to stores of wine within, as well as shelter to the caravans, and troops of traders that throng round them...The house on the left of the picture is the residence of the British Commissioner.'
