Images of Persia
Photographs by Laurence Lockhart 1920s-1950s / Tazaviri az Iran: 'Aks'ha-yi Larins Lakhart, dahah-'i 1920 ta daha-'i 1950 Jiladi.
Best known for his scholarly works on Persian history, Lockhart traveled extensively in Iran, witnessing the rapid changes that were taking place over the half century from the 1920s to the 1970s. He took many photographs of high quality, capturing many aspects of Persian life and culture, but he only published a very few of them, preferring, apparently, to communicate his enthusiasm and deep interest in the country through the written word. Fortunately, however, Lockhart left his photograph albums and negatives, as well as a small personal archive, to the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Cambridge.
This publication, in parallel English and Farsi, was intended to accompany an exhibition of the photographs in Tehran, and was not otherwise distributed.
Ars Libri has acquired the entire stock of the publication and is distributing it on behalf of the Shahnameh Institute of the University of Cambridge.
