EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Occupation of Cyprus, Prisoners from the Gaol at Nicosia escorted to Kyrenia by British and Turkish Troops" offers a glimpse into a significant historical event. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1878, this print showcases a moment during the occupation of Cyprus. In this scene, we witness the solemn procession as prisoners are being escorted from Nicosia's gaol to Kyrenia by both British and Turkish troops. The collaboration between these two forces is evident as they march together through the rugged landscape of Cyprus. The soldiers stand tall and resolute, their uniforms representing their respective nations. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice that some prisoners wear traditional dress – a poignant reminder of the diverse cultures present on this Mediterranean island. This detail adds depth to an already powerful composition. Woodville's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. His skillful rendering captures not only the physicality but also the emotional weight carried by those involved in this occupation. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect upon themes such as power dynamics, cultural identity, and human resilience. This remarkable engraving serves as an invaluable window into history – reminding us of past struggles while encouraging dialogue about justice and freedom today. It stands as a testament to Woodville's talent for capturing significant moments with artistic precision and narrative depth.
