A pair of handshakes at New York City Hall gives this photograph its subject: Mayor Robert F. Wagner greeting Archbishop Makarios III of Cyprus. Makarios had led the campaign for Cypriot independence from Britain and became the island's first president when it gained independence in 1960, so a visit by him to the city drew press attention. The print is a World-Telegram and Sun staff photograph by O. Fernandez, part of the newspaper's collection at the Library of Congress, and it records a formal civic welcome of the kind New York extended to visiting dignitaries.
