Tehran Art and Architecture from Qajar to Early Pahlavi
The appeal of this book lies in the way the city itself becomes the subject. Tehran is presented through buildings and decorative details, but also through social life and changing customs, allowing architecture to be seen as part of a lived capital rather than as isolated monuments. The juxtaposition of old and newer Tehran gives the photography a narrative purpose, tracing a city that grew in size and importance and later gained new palaces, administrative buildings and other structures during the Pahlavi period. Attention to palaces, historic homes, bazaars, tilework and plasterwork brings both grand architecture and finer decorative surfaces into view. The result is a book for readers who want to encounter Tehran through its streets, buildings, art and changing urban identity, with photography providing the connection between architectural detail and the wider story of the city.
