Shemasha Ishai d'Mar Shimun with his secretary and servants

Date
1890s
PortraitClergy

Shemasha (Deacon) Ishai d'Mar Shimun, father of Patriarch Mar Benyamin Shimun, sits in front of a line of men in tall felt hats, embroidered jackets and striped trousers, several holding rifles, possibly in Urmia. Bain's caption on the negative calls him a "Nestorian Archbishop", which the Library of Congress notes is a misidentification.
