Description
Exterior view of an ancient building taken it is believed while W. Averell Harriman and his wife were touring in Uzbekistan. They were probably in Samarkand and this may be part of the Bibi Khanum mosque. Charles W. Thayer accompanied W. Averell Harriman as a guide and confidant on the trip which took place May 12 - June 26, 1959. Harriman went as a special foreign correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA). Trip visits included Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Yalta, etc., as well as areas in Siberia and the Urals, and ended with a meeting with Nikita Khrushchev. Original negative.
