Historical Introduction
1891 y․

The second largest centre of printing in Armenia is Shushi, a record of 1891 stating the following with this regard: “The craft of printing is well-established in Shushi: it has two wealthy printing-offices with high-speed machines. After Tiflis, it ranks second in Caucasia in the publication of Armenian books, having left behind such a major city with a large Armenian population as Baku.”
