Asbestos Cypriot Cyprus Limassol Mine Mines Pano


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the haunting beauty of "The Asbestos Mines at Pano Amiantos, Cyprus. " Taken in the late 1940s, it transports us back to a time when this small village in the Limassol District was bustling with activity. Pano Amiantos, located just southwest of Kyperounta, was once home to a thriving asbestos industry. The image captures the dramatic landscape surrounding the mines, with towering mountains serving as a backdrop. The rugged terrain is evidence of the challenging conditions faced by workers who toiled in these hazardous mines. It is a poignant reminder of an industry that played a significant role in Cyprus' history. Although no longer operational today, this photo serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who worked tirelessly within these mines. Their labor contributed greatly to both local and national economies during that era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded not only of Cyprus' industrial past but also its natural beauty juxtaposed against man-made structures. This postcard-worthy scene invites us to reflect on how industries shape our landscapes and communities over time. With its rich historical significance and striking composition, this print from Mary Evans Prints Online offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Cypriot history while appreciating the artistry captured within each frame.
