Iran - The New Persia
A very rare book full of beautiful full and half page photographs (in high quality photo gravure
technique) of the landscape, cities, villages, mosques, tombs and ancient places
of Persia in the 1930s.
This precious book was not affordable by too many people at that time.
And there is no other book of that time which comes close to the printing quality of that title.
Photographs titled in English, German, French and Persian.
From the series "Orbis Terrarum", a series of early photobooks portraying the regions of the world.
This is definitely the rarest volume in the series!
