Hovhannes Shiraz and Vardan Stepanyan (Dushman)

A rare photograph: the great poet Hovhannes Shiraz and the future National Hero of Armenia Vardan Stepanyan, known as Dushman (first on the left).

An elderly man with white curly hair sits on a chair, with a small boy sitting on his knee. Around them stand a woman and two teenagers: a boy, and a girl in a school uniform with a white apron. Behind them is a curtain.
