1900réf. 145631900. Collection of two photographic lantern slides of Iran circa 1900 documenting village commerce vernacular architecture and camel transportation at the turn of the twentieth century. The images record daily activity within mud-brick settlements including villagers gathered in a public square and camels resting inside a walled enclosure. Particularly notable is the presence of a traditional wind tower or badgir an architectural feature associated with Yazd and other arid regions of central and southern Iran. The photographs preserve details of settlement design commercial activity and animal transportation during the late Qajar period when camel caravans continued to carry goods and travelers between Iranian towns and regional markets. Two photographic glass lantern slides circa 1900 each measuring approximately 3 1/4 x 4 inches. The first depicts an open square surrounded by mud-brick buildings with men women and children gathered in small groups near large sacks or bundles possibly containing merchandise or provisions. A prominent badgir rises above the surrounding structures identifying a traditional method of passive ventilation employed in Iran's hot dry climate. The second slide shows several saddled camels resting within a walled village courtyard or caravan enclosure. One camel lies prominently in the foreground while additional animals and villagers occupy the space beside the surrounding mud-brick buildings. The saddles and enclosed setting suggest a stopping place associated with caravan travel although the precise location is unidentified. The photographs date to a period when established caravan routes connected Iranian settlements and commercial centers with camels providing transportation across regions where wheeled vehicles faced difficult terrain and limited road infrastructure. The wind tower and mud-brick buildings also record architectural adaptations to local climatic conditions while the populated square preserves details of everyday activity in a provincial settlement. Both slides in very good condition. Two early photographic views preserving distinct aspects of Iranian village life regional transportation and traditional architecture during the Qajar era. unknown

1905réf. 144251905. Radiguet Arthur and T.H. McAllister collection of five lantern slides of Iran circa 1905 documents Qajar-era urban religious royal and archaeological sites as they were circulated through early twentieth-century photographic projection. The group records Tehran palace and garden settings Isfahan's Khaju Bridge Muslim worship inside a Persian mosque and the ruins of Persepolis giving the slides research value for the study of Iran's visual presentation to Western lecture audiences the commercial lantern-slide trade and the intersection of Qajar modernity with older Safavid and Achaemenid monuments. Qajar rule extended into the early twentieth century ending in 1925 making these images especially relevant to the final decades of the dynasty and to foreign visual consumption of Iranian architecture devotion and royal space. Five gelatin silver bromide positive glass lantern slides circa 1905 showing locations in Tehran Isfahan and Persepolis; each slide measures approximately 3 1/4 by 4 inches. The first image shows a Persian man in traditional dress walking within the Qajar Royal Palace and gardens; the second is an elevated view labeled "the Shah's gardens and the new neighborhoods" showing Tehran's royal garden landscape and adjacent urban development without enough evidence to confirm the method of photography. The third image shows the Khaju Bridge in Isfahan built under Shah Abbas II on the foundations of an earlier bridge and functioning as both bridge and weir across the Zayandeh River; the fourth shows a group of Muslims kneeling in prayer beneath a mosque archway; the fifth shows the ruins of Persepolis the Achaemenid capital founded by Darius I in 518 B.C. and later designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Three slides are attributed to Arthur Radiguet of Maison Molteni a French maker associated with lantern projection and slide production while the Khaju Bridge slide was produced by T.H. McAllister a New York firm known for selling magic lantern equipment and images. The set brings together dynastic Tehran Safavid civic architecture Islamic devotional practice and ancient imperial ruins offering a compact visual itinerary of Iran as framed for projected instruction or entertainment around 1905. The Khaju Bridge image is particularly useful for architectural history because the bridge linked the Khaju quarter with the Zoroastrian quarter and combined circulation water management and public gathering functions; the Persepolis image extends the group's chronology from modern Qajar Iran back to Achaemenid antiquity. Minor edge wear and light surface wear to glass mounts with images remaining legible; overall very good. A focused group of early photographic projection images of Iran useful for documenting how Qajar-era Tehran Isfahan mosque interiors and ancient Persian ruins were presented through the international lantern-slide market. unknown
