The photographs in this collection are part of an extensive body of works by the photographer Edmond Torikian which includes thousands of individual images taken mainly in Cyprus. Torikian, one of the founders of the Cyprus Photographic Society, was a professional photographer whose works include advertising and promotional material, public events, celebrations and ceremonies, as well as, more personal photographs of friends, family and daily life in Cyprus between the 1950s and 1970s.

This particular selection entitled Edmond Torikian Collection – Cyprus Airways, includes 44 black and white images depicting an important moment in Cyprus Airways history, when the first Hawker Siddeley – Trident airliner came in 1969 to be inducted into the fleet of Cyprus Airways. Later, Trident airliners replaced the existing airliners in the fleet of Cyprus airways, for example, the Havilland Comet and the Vickers Viscount airliners. Also, the collection includes earlier images depicting Cyprus Airways personnel photoshoot in 1967.

The images that comprise the online collection were reproduced from the original roll films. The titles were taken from inscriptions when available. Where no inscriptions were available the titles were generated by the cataloguer describing the depicted subject.
