The Kytherian photographer Emmanuel Sofios, who had been seriously ill for several years, died at home and was buried in Potamos on Sunday, 10 September. The son of D. Sofios of Logothetianika, who had been one of the island’s two pre-war professional photographers (the other was Panayotis Fatseas of Livadi), Emmanuel Sofios continued the family tradition, working in Potamos for many decades. He was perhaps best known for his famous photograph of Allied troop carriers and landing craft drawn up in Kapsali Bay on September 16, 1944, copies of which can still be seen in many houses and offices on the island. It is to be hoped that his extensive archives will remain on the island, as they undoubtedly reflect a substantial part of recent Kytherian history.
