A rare photographic record of Persia on the eve of political change
A rare photographic record of Persia on the eve of political change
Built around photographs taken by Russian officer Alexander Ivanovitch Iyas during his years in Persia from 1901 onward, this volume gathers images of places, people, and events for which no comparable comprehensive collection is identified in the source. The book frames these photographs within the Great Game, the rivalry between Britain and Russia over influence in Central Asia. It offers a visual historical document that connects everyday and public scenes in Persia to the wider geopolitical pressures of the early twentieth century.
