EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1880s, showcases the traditional attire of four Armenian ladies. The image transports us back in time to a quaint and picturesque location in Armenia, with its unique topography serving as a beautiful backdrop. The women, dressed in their traditional clothing, exude a sense of pride and elegance. Each woman wears a distinct yet harmonious ensemble, reflecting the rich history and cultural heritage of Armenia. The ladies' dresses, adorned with intricate embroidery and delicate lace, are reminiscent of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was once a hallmark of Armenian textiles. The women's headgear is particularly noteworthy, with each wearing a different type of cap. The most striking is the jerin, a tall, conical hat made of felt or wool, which is often adorned with ribbons, beads, or other decorative elements. The jerin is a symbol of Armenian identity and can be found in various regions of the country. The women also wear jerkins, which are long, sleeveless garments that are worn over the dress. These jerkins are typically made of wool or linen and are adorned with intricate embroidery, adding to the overall beauty and allure of the traditional Armenian costume. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a tangible connection to the history and cultural traditions of Armenia. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique and diverse cultural heritage that exists around the world.
