Another new page has been added to VirtualANI:

 

THE STEREOSCOPIC

PHOTOGRAPHS OF ANI

 

http://www.virtualani.freeserve.co.uk/kurkdjian/

 

O. Kurkdjian was an Armenian photographer based in Yerevan during the 19th century. He produced a series of stereoscopic photographs (stereographs) of Ani. It is not known exactly when the photographs were taken: sometime between 1875 and 1880, but probably after the Kars district (including Ani) was incorporated into the Russian Empire (i.e. after 1877).
