The Yerevan market, 1969

The photograph shows the Yerevan market in 1969. The market was not only a place of trade but also a centre where people met and talked, and where village and city ways of life mixed.

In the picture is a stall full of fresh greens. On the left stands a woman in an orange headscarf, on the right a man in a cap and a pinstriped suit stretching out his hand towards the men standing opposite. In the background is a building with arched openings.
