Photographs

This collection, consisting of 17 black and white photographs, offers a view of Nicosia's old city centre during the mid 20th century. While the streets are often still recognizable, many of the buildings in these images no longer stand today. The images that comprise the online collection were reproduced from the original black and white prints. The titles are based on physical inscriptions, where available, and are otherwise generated on the basis of identifying the people, places and events pictured. CVAR holds digital reproduction of the originals.
