The postcards are all from the period between 1880 - 1930, while the copies of the David Roberts prints are from the middle 19th century. The low quality of these images (except for the last two Roberts prints) is because they have been captured off HI8 video film which was taken at the shop during the April War of 1996.
Artin Koudalakian's shop "Oriental Art Center" is in Makhoul Street
(parallel to Rue Bliss) - Dallal Building - Ras Beirut - Lebanon.
