The engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the bustling harbours and agricultural activities during this period. In this scene, we see a vibrant gathering of boats in the harbor, symbolizing the importance of maritime transport and trade for both local residents and British occupiers.

This depiction highlights the significance of agriculture as a vital source of sustenance and economic activity on the island. As our eyes wander through this intricate artwork, we are transported to Kyrenia and Famagusta ports - two key locations that played crucial roles during the British occupation. These ports served as gateways for goods coming in and out of Cyprus, connecting it to various parts of the world. "The British Occupation of Cyprus" not only captures historical events but also showcases how art can be used to document important moments in time. Through this engraving, viewers are given an opportunity to reflect upon an era when cultures collided and societies transformed under foreign rule.
