The Iranian
These are graphics done on old photographs from turn-of-the-century Iran. I was
browsing two volumes of these and thought to myself, "Heyfe ke dast-kaarishoon
nakonam!"
But really, they are a great chronicle of our recent history and deserve to be
showcased in a new medium. (Besides RP has been rather quite lately and I didn't
want my digital paintbrush to get dry.)
The pictures are taken from two volumes of Antoin Sevruguin's works. One published
in the US, Sevruguin
and the Persian Image. The other, containing more photographs, was published
in Iran in 1999 by Barjesteh and Zaman Publishers (available at the Mehrabad Airport
duty-free shop).
