Larnaca: a street of houses with timber balconies
Positive from the glass negative
Description
A wide dirt street runs into the distance between plastered houses with timber balconies and shuttered windows. On the left, a seated man rests near large clay jars, and a standing man in a long robe stands beside them. Another man bends over barrels by an arched doorway, and a horse and cart appear far off on the right.

A wide unpaved street in Larnaca between plastered houses with projecting timber balconies and shutters. Men stand by large storage jars and barrels at a house door; Wellcome's catalogue notes that the photograph was taken in the early morning. The 1981 print is the mirror image of the positive from the negative: one of the two is reversed left to right.
