For nearly a century, members of the Dildilian family practiced the
art of photography in Ottoman Turkey, Greece and the United States.
This book contains over 300 photographs, most taken during the
Ottoman era. The photos record a crucial half century of Armenian
culture, with the earliest dating from 1888, when Tsolag Dildilian
opened and operated the family business in central Anatolia, first
in Sivas and later in Marsovan and Samsun, and the last taken in
late 1930s Greece after the family's forced exile from their
homeland in 1922. The photographs and the stories that unfold
around them capture a defining period in the nearly 3,000-year
history of the Armenians in Anatolia and the Armenian Highlands.
The early- twentieth century witnessed the violent erasure of the
Armenians from their historic homeland, with catastrophic effects
for the Dildilian family and their community. Yet this was also a
period of unprecedented educational, cultural and commercial
development for the Armenians. The Dildilian family was intimately
involved in the triumphs and tragedies of these years and this
book, through its rich pictorial history, sheds unprecedented light
on the real-life experiences of Armenians in the devastating years
of the Armenian Genocide and beyond. It is an unusual and original
contribution to the social history of the Near East.
