Printed in lower left recto: Boats at Larnaca; W. T. F. Castle; The Bay of Larnaca is the meeting-place of ships for all this part of the Levant. It is safe in all seasons, and when vessels meet with bad weather at Damietta, Jaffa, or even on the open sea they fly here for shelter, or come expressly to take provisions, M. de Vezin - 1790'; The Cyprus Calendar 1950; October

Description:

The October page of the Cyprus Calendar (1950) captures a long lost view of the Larnaca seashore. Old houses with overhanging balconies and interior courtyards appear in line next to each other at the seafront. A Turkish porter wearing a white headscarf and no shoes stands on the primitive wooden peer. Small boats are tied on the pier and in one of them the figures of three fishermen are mending their nests.
