Ararat, Van and the mountain roads of the Caucasus and eastern Anatolia trace an Armenia far larger than the present republic. Atlas sheets by Mallet, Morden, Weller and later publishers place Armenian territories within classical, Ottoman, Russian and Soviet frameworks, with Yerevan appearing as Erivan and the same city named Alexandropol and Gyumri in different periods. Closer diagrams examine Lake Sevan, Aragats and the Aras basin, and explorers' routes cross the region. The prints show mountain journeys, dress and domestic interiors, religious subjects and the Armenian monastery of San Lazzaro in Venice.
