These cartoons are from 1900 up to about 1917 -- the earliest examples of Iranian political cartoons, including about women with feminist themes, before and after the Constitutional Revolution. They have been reprinted in Seyr-e tahavollaat-e 70 saal kaarikaator dar iran (The evolution of Iranian cartoons in the past 70 years) by Hamid Saher (Atropat publishing, Iran, 1998). They include cartoons from various satirical papers including Molla Nasreddin, Azarbaijan, Hasharat-ol-Arz, and Nahid.
