Fishing in the Alis River, Sebastia

The photograph was taken in Sebastia (Sivas) in 1902 or 1903. According to the source, Mr Glazyan is in the centre, fishing with his friends in the Alis River. Today the river is called the Kızılırmak; at that time it was one of the favourite places of rest for the Armenians of Sebastia.

Seven men stand in the river with a fishing net; several of them hold up the fish they have caught. The men wear waistcoats and white shirts; the man standing in the centre wears a jacket and a bow tie.

The photograph has been preserved in the Project Save archive.
