Photograph of Mehmet Çoban Hüseyin no. 034

Photograph of Mehmet Çoban Hüseyin (1903-1985); it was taken by an anonymous street photographer, outdoors with a painted background, which shows slender columns and looped-back curtains. The man is standing with his right hand resting on a chair; he looks young, with a well-trimmed moustache and short hair almost completely covered by his high Ottoman fez. He wears a white shirt with straight collar and over it a knitted pullover (kazak), with a corn pattern (darı), a light-coloured jacket and riding breeches with their lower part tucked into black leather knee boots. His attire is modern. It may be assumed that Mehmet must have had a horse, probably to go around and inspect his workmen. Source: Hatice Tin, Ali Mehter. Village: Epicho (Abohor), Nicosia District.
