The Shah in London
Albumen carte-de-visite. A few tiny scratches to the photograph, otherwise very good. London, Elliott & Fry, n.d., but
An attractive carte-de-visite of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (1831-1896). Numerous CDVs of the Shah circulated around Europe after his tour of the continent in 1873. He was the first Iranian ruler to complete such a trip and would no doubt have been delighted to see such images as he was a practicing photographer and adored the medium.
