Digital copy of a group portrait photograph of Armenian migrants, taken by Minas Patkerhanian Machertich in 1946.
The photograph would have been taken to attach to travel documents. Multiple families were seated on benches to be captured in one photograph, which would be cut into sections once developed. This seating arrangement can be seen here; the numeric annotation on the photograph indicates family groups.
Original prints produced from gelatin negatives; measurement 7 x 17.5cm.
