The nineteenth century witnessed the appearance throughout the Armenian world of scholarly and literary Armenian periodicals and journals, some of which are still being published. Of particular and lasting importance is the Ազգագրական Հանդէս (Ethnographic Journal), which began in 1895 in Shushi, then a part of the Russian Transcaucasian Republic. Until it ceased publication in 1909, the journal published articles about the various regions and tribes of the Caucasus as well as explorations of antiquities, clothing, and the life and culture of those peoples. The photograph “Armenian Miss from Akhalkalak” is from an extensive article on the region of Javakhk/Javakheti, now in the Republic of Georgia.
