We note post-card back photographs after the turn-of-the 20th century. This included both studio portraits and snap shots. We do not yet have many Syrian snap shots, but what we have been able to find is that the snapshots came from Europeans in Syria and European-influenced Syrians who showed a much stronger adoption of European-styled clothing, especially French styles, than was the case for the country as a whole. We note ragged edge snapshots wihout a white border in the 195Os. Unfortunately we do not have enough Syrian snapshots to develop any substantial trend assessment. Snap shots are of course a reflection of both the size of the economn and relative prosperity. And of course Syria as a small, relatively poor country will not have a large photographic record, although it is imprtant to note that thev French colonial era and immediate aftermath was oneof thev most prosperous periods of modern Syrian economic history.
