This is a renewed and improved edition of the “20 sketches on Baku” photo album, which was published two years ago.

So that the book was awarded with the main prize of the First National Book Art Competition devoted to the 90th anniversary of National Leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev. Rareness of the book created necessity for republication of the photo album.
