EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Charles Hewitt in September 1946, offers a poignant snapshot of life on the plain of Messaoria, Cyprus. In this timeless image, we witness the arduous task faced by Cypriot livestock as they quench their thirst under the scorching Mediterranean sun. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of vast open fields and an endless horizon that stretches towards the glistening Mediterranean Sea. With no people visible in sight, it is solely these resilient animals who take center stage. Sheep graze peacefully while others gather around a water trough to drink from water laboriously hand-pulled from a nearby well. Every detail captured within this frame speaks volumes about the daily challenges faced by farmers and their livestock during this era. The determination etched onto each animal's face reflects their unwavering spirit amidst harsh conditions. Hewitt's masterful use of photography adds depth to this archival gem, emphasizing both the starkness and beauty found within rural landscapes. This print serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and highlights how even seemingly mundane tasks like fetching water can be filled with significance. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize the resilience exhibited by both humans and animals alike in their pursuit for survival on this beautiful island called Cyprus.
