TOULIS IN WORKSHOP I.

The sculpture at work is a fine example of one's true dedication to human beings,the core of life and photography.

good detail and exposure as well as DoF. Although the original pic may have captured the dedication and spirit of this man, I think your efforts have captured his soul. bravo

Thank you ART X. This photo is part of my restoration of old family photos. He is my grandfather that took part in the Swedish Archaeological Expedition in Cyprus 1925-1931. The picture was taken during that period. Here he is restoring a terracota fig. pre-geometric period, around 800BC, the pieces of which were found in Agia Irini along with countless other complete figures.

Thank you Photi, human beings are indeed the core of life!

What do we know Dimitri, in short, about this Swedish Archaeological Expedition in Cyprus 1925-1931?

 

Marios

We know a lot ,Marie. The expedition is very well documented. There are 8000 photos taken at the time by the Swedish expedition photographer. We have all the articles written by the leader of the expedition, Prof. Gjeistad. There is a book that details every event.. My daughter who is an author is collecting material in order to write a novel about it. She has already been to the Mediterranean Museum in Stockholm where her great grandfather, Toulis, was a curator and she was given a great deal of information and a great welcome, I might say. She was shown all the Archaeological finds. (Not all of them are on display). I will send you the title of the book that was written by the Museum, if you like.

Dimitri, if you mean "An archaeological adventure in Cyprus", you have already mentioned it to me. You have also mentioned a documentary film shot by the Mediterranean Museum in Stockholm. It should be very interesting to watch it on You Tube.

I will try and get a copy from the Museum in Stockholm, Marie. I watched it in Cyprus when it was put on TV.
