EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. In the midst of conflict, a British armoured car stands tall, draped with the iconic Union Jack flag. Serving as a symbol of protection and strength, it helps to guard a refugee convoy as it departs from Nicosia on July 22nd. The image showcases the complex dynamics at play during this tumultuous time. The British military presence highlights their involvement in trying to maintain peace and security amidst escalating tensions on the island. As Cyprus was torn apart by war, this photograph serves as a reminder of the international efforts made to rescue those affected by the invasion. Peter Stone's composition captures both the chaos and resilience that defined this era. The juxtaposition of an armored vehicle adorned with Britain's national flag against a backdrop of destruction evokes emotions ranging from hope to despair. Decades later, this print continues to serve as a historical testament to one chapter in Cyprus' troubled past. It reminds us not only of conflicts fought but also sheds light on humanitarian efforts undertaken during times of crisis. Peter Stone's work immortalizes these events and invites viewers to reflect upon our shared history and strive for lasting peace.
