Eventually seen by thousands of people, it presented photographs of Armenian  life in pre-Genocide Ottoman Turkey, drawn from a large collection of postcards  owned by the collector Orlando Calumeno. In the five years since then, the  exhibition has also been mounted in Paris, Munich, Koln, Frankfurt and last year  in Yerevan.<br \/>\nK\u00f6ker originally intended to write a book about Armenian life in  the Ottoman Empire, but with the discovery of the postcard collection the scope  of the project changed.
