Link to Google maps. I put a marker at a proposed perspective point for the photograph,probably a postcard, used as a source for these two rugs.

About Kevin

Kevin Sudeith is an artist and the creator and curator of the war rug collection seen on warrug.com. Beginning as (and remaining) a collector, he began selling war rugs to learn as much as possible about the rugs. Later he sold what he calls "regular rugs" to better study rugs and their historical origins. Sudeith learned how war rugs related to traditional Afghan tribal and workshop rugs as well as the broader Turkmen and Persian rug traditions.

    Thanks for the detective work on this. I have a version of this rug and was unsure whether it was depicting Shahyaad Square. Thanks for the confirmation.
