EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a camel train making its way through the picturesque landscape of Cyprus during the 1920s or 1930s. The Empire Marketing Board poster, produced between 1927 and 1933, highlights the importance of this ancient mode of transportation in the island's trade industry. Camels, with their humped backs and resilient demeanor, were the ideal beasts of burden for carrying heavy loads over long distances in the arid terrain of Cyprus. The train is laden with various produce, including sacks of beans, fruits, and possibly silk, which were among the key exports of the island during that era. The presence of a locust in the foreground adds a touch of intrigue and authenticity to the scene, reminding us of the challenges and unpredictability of nature that farmers and traders faced in those days. The asbestos sacks, a common sight during that time, served as effective protection against moisture and pests. The poster also hints at the rich industrial history of Cyprus during the 1930s. The presence of the train suggests that the island was well-connected to the rest of the British Empire, enabling the efficient transportation of goods and fostering economic growth. This poster is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the people of Cyprus, who adapted to the unique challenges of their environment and made the most of their resources to thrive. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the fascinating history of this beautiful island.
