Description:
About half are in color, a few are just single pane and without paper edge protection. Some are captioned either on labels or in the negative.
Fascinating photographic record of a mission by the Lutheran Pastor George Bayard Young to the Middle East, with a number documenting the internment, deportation, and genocide of the Armenian Christian minority. Others are of Constantinople, the Turkish countryside, etc. Of the Armenian-related slides, 10 are in color, and are in unusually good condition. Added to the lot is a glass slide of Japan, and one of the Statue of Liberty.
The Armenian-related slides, with captions in quotes, include:
"Girl in rags." (uncolored).
"Fleeing from persecution."
"We do not ask for luxuries, simply food, schools, and a chance for life and happiness."
View of women and children standing or sitting in front of shack.
Two rather dishevilled girls.
Women and children standing in open.
"Armenian girl with her Turkish child - St. Bartlett."
