This collection, including 42 black and white photographs, is a personal collection belonging to Selwyn Roberts, who served as a Sergeant in the Cyprus Police Force between 1958 and 1960. The photographs depict Roberts and his friends during their leisure time in Cyprus, enjoying sites like Hala Sultan Tekke, Salamis and the beach at Larnaca. The images that comprise the online collection were reproduced from the original black and white prints, or from the negatives where prints were not available. 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.
