Group at Avgoru. Photographer: Thomson, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Portrait group of a man, women and children, in a house at Avgorou, 'a small village half-way between Larnaca and Famagosta, and about five miles inland...The interiors of the dwellings at Avgoru are poor, and their earthen floors are partly taken up in the storage of produce; nevertheless, their occupants are respectably clothed, and seem to turn their labour to good account, for there is an absence of that squalor and misery that we meet with among the poor in more highly-civilized communities...In some respects, Avgoru seems to be a model settlement; the natives are singularly graceful in manner, and courteous to strangers, and each individual earns a livelihood by his own labour.'
