EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches from Cyprus" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of English explorers and their archaeological endeavors. The engraving showcases a collection of sketches that were originally published in The Graphic on January 17,1880. The image transports us to the interior of an ancient site in Cyprus, where Lady Baker is depicted amidst her excavations. Her determined expression reflects her passion for uncovering the mysteries of this historical place. The backdrop reveals an impressive acropolis towering above, adding a sense of grandeur to the scene. The sketch captures not only Lady Baker's dedication but also highlights the significance of these archaeological findings. It reminds us that Cyprus holds a wealth of antiquities waiting to be discovered and studied. Intriguingly, we see figures preparing for departure with various artifacts and tools scattered around them. This suggests that significant discoveries have been made during these excavations at Kittion - an important archaeological site in Cyprus. Transportation plays a crucial role as well; it symbolizes how these precious antiquities are carefully handled and transported back home for further examination by experts like Sir Samuel. Overall, this enchanting print immerses us in the world of archaeology and invites our curiosity about what other treasures lie hidden beneath the surface in ancient lands like Cyprus.
