Beautiful and also interesting, because their dress is very close to traditional folk dress of the region, and I would have expected prosperous, Christian bourgeioses women in a large city like Trebizond at the time to be dressed in more Western clothes.

Me, I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako." I'm Greek (Roman really, but when I say that in English some five people in the world today understand what I'm talking about, so I use "Greek" for shorthand). I'm from New York. I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
