This 19th-century print depicts Erivan Province, as it appeared in the year 1856. Part of the Russian Empire at the time, Erivan Province is located in the Caucasus region of Western Asia, now known as Armenia. The image on the front showcases the unique character of this land, with its fertile farmlands, winding rivers, and majestic mountains serving as the backdrop to quaint villages and bustling marketplaces. The chief industries of Erivan Province were agriculture and farming, with crops such as wheat, barley, and grapes thriving in the region's rich soil. The meeting of frontiers between Europe and Asia is evident in the diverse population, which is depicted in traditional costume in the foreground of the print. The reverse side of this souvenir card offers a detailed map of the province, the provincial seal, and intriguing information about the population and local customs.
