Plates at p432

These photographs illustrate, in some cases specifically, in others very loosely, Chapter 44 of the text, "Armenian Sculpture and Painting". Each of the thumbnails below opens to a full-sized photograph in another window (which usually also shows detail that has been cropped out of the uniformly-proportioned thumbnails). The captions of those that are specifically referred to in Chapter 44 are linked to the passage.
