Iranian History and Early Photography: Three Glass Lantern Slides of Qajar Tehran Royal Palace Gardens and Isfahan's Khaju Bridge circa 1905

1905réf. 145291905. Collection of three original photographic glass lantern slides depicting the Qajar royal palace gardens in Tehran an elevated view of the capital's developing neighborhoods and the seventeenth-century Khaju Bridge in Isfahan circa 1905. The Tehran images date from the reign of Mozaffar al-Din Shah Qajar 1896-1907 shortly before the Persian Constitutional Revolution and the establishment of a national parliament in 1906. One records a man in traditional Persian clothing walking through the royal palace gardens while another titled "The Shah's Gardens and the New Neighborhoods" presents an elevated view across Tehran's urban landscape. The third slide depicts the Khaju Bridge commissioned by Shah Abbas II around 1650 recording one of the principal surviving monuments of Safavid architecture in Isfahan. The three views preserve early twentieth-century photographic records of Persian royal grounds urban development and historic infrastructure circulated through European and American lantern-slide publishers. Three original gelatin silver bromide positive glass lantern slides each measuring approximately 3¼" x 4" dating to circa 1905. The first depicts a Persian man wearing traditional nineteenth-century clothing and walking through the Qajar royal palace gardens in Tehran. The second presents an elevated perspective over the palace gardens and surrounding city captioned "The Shah's Gardens and the New Neighborhoods" showing the relationship between the royal precinct and Tehran's expanding residential districts. The first two images are associated with Arthur Radiguet and the Parisian optical firm Maison Molteni subsequently operating as Molteni Radiguet & Massiot. The third slide produced by the New York optical firm T. H. McAllister depicts the Khaju Bridge spanning the Zayandeh River in Isfahan. Constructed under Shah Abbas II around 1650 on the site of an earlier crossing the bridge incorporates 23 arches and served as a roadway dam and public gathering place connecting the Khaju quarter with the opposite bank near the historic Zoroastrian district. Its arcaded construction central pavilion and water-regulating features distinguish it among the architectural projects of Safavid Isfahan. The two Tehran views were distributed through the French optical industry associated with Arthur Radiguet who died in 1905 and the Maison Molteni a manufacturer of photographic projection apparatus and lantern slides. The Khaju Bridge image was produced by T. H. McAllister a New York firm specializing in optical instruments and photographic lantern-slide production. Such glass transparencies were used in illustrated lectures geographical instruction and public presentations projecting photographic images onto screens through optical lanterns. The elevated Tehran view records the city's development before the extensive urban alterations of the Pahlavi period while the palace garden scene preserves details of Qajar-era royal grounds and contemporary dress. The Isfahan image records a Safavid bridge that continued to serve the city more than two centuries after its construction. All three original glass positives are in very good condition. unknown

Safavid Persian History: Simon de Vries Engraving of Royal Justice at the Persian Court 1682

1682réf. 144001682. De Vries Simon. Persian royal court scene 1682 depicts kingship judgment and punishment in a European publication describing Persia and other regions of Asia Africa and the Americas. Issued during the Safavid period the scene places a Persian ruler above assembled courtiers and judges while a kneeling governor is restrained before him presenting Dutch readers with a visual account of royal authority and judicial punishment in seventeenth-century Persia. De Vries compiled his extensive geographical work from earlier travel and eyewitness accounts rather than presenting it as the record of his own travels. De Vries Simon. Curieuse aenmerckingen der bysonderste Oost en West-Indische verwonderens-waerdige dingen; nevens die van China Africa en andere gewesten des werelds. Utrecht: Johannes Ribbius 1682. Original etching on laid watermarked paper. Image 6" x 7.5"; overall sheet 8.25" x 6.5". A Persian king occupies an elevated carpeted throne above an assembly of courtiers and judges. Below him a governor kneels while another figure restrains him establishing punishment as the central action of the composition. Most of the assembled figures wear turbans and long garments; several others have markedly different European-style headwear. Through an architectural opening additional guards appear within the palace setting. Small numbers incorporated into the composition correspond to explanatory text printed in early Dutch above the image linking individual figures and actions to De Vries's written account. Published at Utrecht by Johannes Ribbius De Vries's Curieuse aenmerckingen appeared in four parts in 1682 and compiled European accounts of geography customs religion government and court practices across numerous regions. Bibliographic records confirm both the four-part publication and its substantial series of engraved plates. The present scene documents how Persian royal government and judicial authority were explained pictorially to a late seventeenth-century Dutch readership with the numbered key allowing the image to be interpreted alongside the accompanying text. Uncut as published; overall excellent condition. The watermark surviving margins numbered explanatory system and detailed court scene preserve material and textual evidence of the engraving's original use as an illustration within De Vries's 1682 geographical compilation. unknown

World War II Middle East History: Tehran Street Life and Allied Supply Routes Through Iran 1940s

1940réf. 149281940. Two black-and-white photographs of Iran during the 1940s document civilian transportation in Tehran and the Allied movement of American supplies north toward the Soviet Union during World War II. The subjects correspond to Iran's wartime role as the Persian Corridor the overland route through which American and British matériel moved from Persian Gulf ports toward Soviet territory. U.S. Army histories record extensive truck transport through Iran while contemporary diplomatic records document acute Iranian shortages of trucks and tires and Allied efforts to import both commodities during 1942. The first image shows a Tehran street lined with Persian architecture including arched entrances as horse-drawn carriages and wagons move through the roadway. In the foreground a carriage transports a load of imported rubber tires identified as intended for the war effort. The scene records the coexistence of animal-drawn transport and imported automotive supplies during a period when motor transportation had become critical both to Iran's domestic economy and to Allied operations. The photograph measures 8.5 x 6.75 inches. The second image shows a long convoy of American trucks carrying goods for the Soviet Union along a rugged mountain road in northern Iran. Comparable Office of War Information photographs from 1943 record American Army convoys negotiating Iranian mountain passes while carrying supplies for Russia identifying such movements as part of the Persian Corridor supply operation. The two photographs preserve contrasting aspects of wartime transportation in Iran: urban traffic and material shortages in Tehran and the mechanized Allied supply traffic moving through the country toward the Soviet Union. The first photograph has slight waviness at the middle edges and a bumped lower left corner; otherwise both photographs are in very good condition. The pair provides direct visual documentation of Iran's transportation landscape during World War II and of the logistical activity generated by the Persian Corridor. unknown

Iranian History and Village Life: Early Photographic Lantern Slides of Marketplace Activity Traditional Architecture and Camel Transportation Circa 1900

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

Iranian History and Early Projection Photography Five Lantern Slides of Qajar Tehran Isfahan Mosque Prayer and Persepolis circa 1905

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
