There's an exhibition of Armenian postcards, at the School of Oriental
and African Studies in London.
They are 100 years old and give a fascinating portrayal of Armenian
life in Turkey at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth
century.
Here is a culture, thriving in the final years of the Ottoman Empire,
all but disappeared now, re-discovered in glorious detail.
One of the reasons for the huge variety of postcards is that the
postcard business was an Armenian trade.
