Primary Source XII: From the Diary of Esmé Scott-Stevenson 1880

Esmé Scott-Stevenson, wife of the Commissioner of Kyrenia, authored several books documenting her travels across the Mediterranean. She traveled throughout Cyprus with a number of dignitaries and, in 1880, she published "Our Home in Cyprus," observing Cypriot customs in 19th century Cyprus. Her work offers us a springboard into this month's episode, "Travelling Artists in Cyprus 1700-1960," with Rita Severis, the co-founder and Executive Director of the "Centre of Visual Arts and Research" (CVAR) in Cyprus.
