Kurdish Photos

Posted by Roland Belgrave on September 20, 2012 at 12:02

I am looking for images of Kurdish subjects. I have seen many 19th century photographs, yet none that show specifically Kurdish people or locations. The images can be 19th and 20th century. Many thanks.

I have many postcards from Turkey in the 1920s and 30s including a few that may be Kurdish. Look at my blog, especially these pages:

I'm not interested in selling but if you want some scans for research I'm happy to send some through.
