Eugenie Kaznajian poses with the telephone receive

Eugenie Kaznajian poses with the telephone receiver to her ear, Lowell, Massachusetts, c. 1914.

This candlestick-style telephone, which had its technological beginnings in 1890, is used here as a photo prop. In the 1990s, Eugenie's sister submitted this photograph to the AT&T Archives in New Jersey for consideration in a mini-exhibit titled "People Talking on the Telephone." It was one of the 15 images chosen to grace the corporate hallways on the AT&T headquarters and inspire their employees with the power of technology.

Composite family photograph. The older photograph

Composite family photograph. The older photograph (c. 1910) was taken in the Village of Nipshee, Palou, near Kharpert. The Two men in suits and a potted plant were added, covering other non-family members in the original photo.

Sahag Bogosian (#7) was away working in Providence, RI when the original photo was taken in 1910. Afterward, everyone except for Sahag and Serop Bogosian (#5 and #8) were killed in the Genocide. Years later, when Serop and Sahag were reunited through the International Red Cross, Serop commissioned a photographer to "drop in" a picture of his father and himself to reunite the family. The potted plant was included to cover the non-family members in the original.
