CHRISTINA ALEXANDROU IN GREEK CYPRIOT CLOTHING, STOCKWELL

Christina Alexandrou in traditional Greek Cypriot dress posing for photographer Harry Jacobs in his Landor Road studio, Stockwell. Christina and her sister remember being sent to a Greek community school in Clapham North to learn Greek Cypriot culture, which included dancing in traditional dress - this one being borrowed by her mother for the photograph. The photo is still in its original decorative mount and was hand-tinted to add colour to the black and white image, a technique soon to be superseded by cheaper colour photography.Digital Image by kind permission of Androulla Tallis and Christiana Brook.
