An Armenian musician in national costume. Archival photograph.

The postcard shows a man with a moustache wearing a tall fur hat and a long coat with wide sleeves, holding a stringed instrument. He is seated on a sofa with a carpet under his feet. The English caption below reads “No. 189. The Caucasian Series. An Armenian. A singer of the East in his national costume” and adds that the coat is open in front with broad sleeves, and that the pointed cap is made of Persian caracul.
