Lace-makers, Kato Lefkara
Description
A printed photograph mounted on a card, with a caption beneath and a handwritten number label at lower left. Several women sit in a whitewashed vaulted recess, bent over lace work spread across their laps, and the one at far right wears a black headscarf and dress. A tree trunk and a potted plant stand at the left, and sunlight falls in a bright patch across the stone floor.

LACE-MAKERS-KATO LEFKARA Reno Wideson ". . . But here, where nature herself is ever young, and the Seasons, with their attendant Graces, have fixed their pleasant seat, where Aphrodite Cyprogeneia was so devoutly worshipped, the softer sex is rich in the gifts of the Graces, and full charm and beauty." Constantius, Archbishop of Sinai-1819 (A pleasant brief Cypriad)
