Abstract:
The article presents a brief outline of the life of Ye. B. Narbut, a collector of postcards and photo-postcards with views of the sights of Abkhazia — Sukhumi, New Athos, Pitsunda, Gagra, etc. The short texts written from Abkhazia not only convey the special atmosphere of holidays; they contain details that play an important role in the restoration of the general panorama of the life of Abkhazia in the second half of the 20th century.
