The majority of the images are annotated with the year 1308 AH 1929-1930 CE while only photograph 7 is dated 1307 AH 1928-1929 CE.The album documents large-scale engineering works and urban modernisation in Iran during the early years of the Pahlavi dynasty 1925-1941 under Reza Shah Pahlavi 1878-1944. In this period cities such as Tabriz underwent significant restructuring and infrastructural development as part of broader state-led reforms.The photographs depict surveying activities including measuring instruments mounted on tripods uniformed officials and extensive reconstruction works. Several photographs are identifiable as views of Tabriz including the development of the Gaji Gate Darb-e Gajil in December 1929 Ahrap Ahrab Street and Munjam Street under construction. Other views show street levelling and widening works illustrating the transformation of older urban quarters into broader modern thoroughfares.Further noteworthy subjects include railway works and one photograph taken in Jafarabad shows several men wearing a combination of traditional clothing including papakha-style headgear and Western clothing reflecting the broader cultural transition of the period. The present work therefore stands as an informative visual record of early 20th-century Iranian engineering urban renewal and state modernisation.With some glue staining to the dark blue paper on several pages. A few photographs show minor marginal wear not affecting the images themselves. The final photograph is not mounted on the album paper but on a separate piece of card and is loosely inserted.

ARABIAN PENINSULA; LEVANT; IRANBiblio.com

First List of Names in Arabia. N.W. and S.W.

1922184807London: W. M. Clowes and Sons for the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use 1922-37. Arabic place names for the use of soldiers and military surveyors A collection of 8 pamphlets all but one in their first editions with lists of geographical names of the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant - including Saudi Arabia Kuwait Qatar the United Arab Emirates Oman Yemen Trans-Jordan Syria "the French Mandatory Territory" and Iraq - as well as Iran. They were produced by the Royal Geographical Society for soldiers and surveyors working with maps. The Permanent Committee on Geographical Names P. C. G. N. was a body of scholars and linguists who regularly met to discuss policies and practical issues such as the correct spellings of foreign geographical names for use in official documents and publications. In 1921 the Committee updated the RGS System of rules for spelling native names - first adopted by the War Office and later used by the Admiralty in 1885 and throughout the First World War - which led to the creation of this series of lists. Major General Edward Gleichen 1863-1937 formerly Director of the Political Intelligence Bureau was its first Chair 1920-37. The differences in vowel pronunciation among the Arabic colloquials and between colloquial and classical Arabic had generated a variety of alternative spellings for place names in the Arabic-speaking world. The introductions explain preferences for vowel renditions acknowledging the use of alternative official spellings specific to the French mandatory territory in Syria. Some place names include the Hebrew or Greek counterpart others illustrate the confusion that might arise from a lack of transliteration conventions such as "Kethrabba" instead of "Kefrabbeh" as well as incorrect spellings in general use reaching the number of seven for Dujail near Baghdad. The lists also include approximate distances from major cities. For Iran the introduction states that "Persian orthography is by no means fixed and consistent and especially is there uncertainty about the identity and length of many vowels". The lists - which span a large territory including Azerbaijan Isfahan Bushire Tehran and Khurasan - specify that "the boundaries of the provinces of Iran are for the most part indefinite". Together 8 pamphlets octavo. Text in Arabic and English. List of publications to last verso. Stitched as issued. Contents minimally toned else fresh and clean faint traces of central vertical fold: a fine collection. unknown

Iranian Cultural History Eugène Flandin Voyage en Perse Perse Moderne Plates Depicting Cities Monuments and Landscapes of Qajar Persia

145801976. Flandin Eugène. Voyage en Perse. Perse Moderne Planches documents the architecture cities and landscapes of nineteenth century Iran through the drawings produced during a French archaeological and artistic expedition to the region in 1840. French artist Eugène Flandin traveled to Iran with architect Pascal Coste as part of a diplomatic mission supported by the Académie des Beaux Arts in Paris. During two years of travel across western and southern Iran the expedition produced extensive drawings of monuments urban centers and archaeological sites associated with the Qajar period. These images later formed the basis of Perse Moderne one of the most significant illustrated records of nineteenth century Iran produced by European artists. Flandin Eugène. Voyage en Perse. Perse Moderne Planches. London: Burness Faridany Limited 1976. Limited facsimile edition issued to commemorate the centennial of Flandin's death. Elephant folio measuring approximately 17 x 24 inches. The volume contains one hundred tinted lithographic plates reproducing the illustrations from the original nineteenth century publication. The plates depict architectural monuments and landscapes including royal mosques and palaces the city and ports of Tehran the ruins of Persepolis the tomb of Saadi and other locations recorded during Flandin's expedition. The original Perse Moderne was published in 1854 as part of a large multi volume series documenting the results of Flandin and Coste's travels through Iran. The expedition provided one of the earliest systematic visual surveys of Persian architecture and urban landscapes available to European scholars and artists. Flandin's drawings preserved detailed views of monuments and settlements during the Qajar period and have been widely cited by historians of Persian art and architecture as a major documentary source for nineteenth century Iran. The 1976 edition reproduces these images in a limited printing of six hundred copies allowing modern readers access to the visual material of a work that is otherwise difficult to obtain in its original form. One elephant folio volume with one hundred tinted lithographic plates housed in the original box. Minor handling wear to the box while the volume and plates remain well preserved. Overall condition very good. unknown

Iranian Visual Culture and Kingship Monumental Qajar Textile Reviving Safavid Imperial Iconography of Shah Abbas I Nineteenth Century

1890146641890. Hand painted Persian textile depicting Shah Abbas I nineteenth century a monumental example of Qajar period revivalist visual culture that reinterprets Safavid imperial iconography to articulate Persian kingship martial virtue and historical memory. Centered on one of the most mythologized rulers in Iranian history the composition presents a continuous figural narrative in which Shah Abbas I appears mounted on horseback in a royal hunt sword drawn as he confronts a lion while turbaned cavalry attendants bearing spears observe. A secondary vignette shows the Shah pursuing a wild boar reinforcing long standing Persian associations between sovereignty mastery over nature and military prowess. Rendered in a frontal highly legible style with flattened perspective and rhythmic repetition the imagery translates the visual language of Persian manuscript illustration into large scale textile form reflecting nineteenth century Qajar engagement with earlier Safavid models of centralized authority and dynastic legitimacy. Hand painted Persian figural textile. Qajar period nineteenth century. Approximately 117.5 x 51 inches 9.8 x 4.25 feet. The upper register introduces a martial tableau of Persian warriors confronting Indian soldiers mounted on elephants imagery that evokes enduring visual memory of imperial expansion and recalls narratives associated with Nader Shah's eighteenth century campaigns against the Mughal Empire. In the Qajar period particularly in the later nineteenth century Safavid rulers such as Shah Abbas were repeatedly invoked across painting lacquer and textile production as symbols of national continuity and restored sovereignty. This textile operates within that historicist framework layering Safavid royal imagery with later martial memory to construct a composite vision of Persian power across centuries. Minor edge tears including one approximately 1 inch and three approximately 3 inches within the border and along the edge not affecting the central figural imagery; colors remain bold and composition visually strong. Overall condition: very good. unknown
