Dr Clemente Carletti and companions

The photograph was taken outdoors c. 1880, and it shows five persons wearing typical winter clothes of the time. The only man in the photograph is Dr Clemente Carletti, who is accompanied by his future wife, Yeranig Eramian. Dr Clemente was about to marry the granddaughter of his half-sister, Caterina Luigi Carletti. The age difference between them was 34 years. The other persons in the photograph are Yeranig’s elder sister, Annig Papazian, and her two sisters-in-law. The women are all wearing floor-length dresses with long sleeves, while Annig Papazian and Yeranig Papazian are wearing hip-length jackets, close-fitting to the waist and made of a thick material. Iskouhi Papazian is wearing a shorter jacket, also made of a thicker material than her light-coloured dress. Iskouhi Papazian, Annig Papazian and Yeranig Eramian are all wearing shawls of different fabric over their shoulders. Dr Carletti is wearing a western-style suit with a long overcoat and a bowler hat.
