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 - Events, includes 263 black and white and colour images depicting non official events that took place in Cyprus before 1974. The collection includes images of parties, new year’s celebrations, competitions, art exhibitions, plane airshows and more.
