Thirteen silver-gelatin photographic prints, measuring 300 by 240mm, all with the photographer's studio stamp to the reverse; a few tiny stains and bruised corners, otherwise excellent evenly-toned prints in very good condition. All have been inserted into photo-corners and mounted on loose sheets of thin card. Housed in a sligh…tly later blue cloth portfolio. Baghdad, Eldorado Studio, A remarkably beautiful group of photographs from the Eldorado studio of Baghdad. Run by Ovaness Kouyoumdjian, Eldorado was among the most prominent Armenian-owned photographic studios in the Iraqi capital, prospering well into the 1950s. The present group of large silver-gelatin prints is a rare survival, as the studio mostly produced real photo postcards and smaller format prints. The photographs include: a potter presenting freshly-thrown earthenware jugs; mounted desert policemen; the Ctesiphon Arch (Taq Kasra); a worker gathering dates high up in a Basra palm; the golden domes and minarets of Al-Kadhimiya Mosque; two stunning images of Baghdad's famous Souk al-Safafeer; men transporting goods in a kuphar (the crates somewhat surprisingly purporting to contain scotch whisky). Cf. Vartan Melkonian, An Historical Glimpse of the Armenians in Iraq, Basra, The Times Press, 1957, p.12.
