EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The fishing merchant in Kachan (or Kashan, in Teheran province, present-day Iran)" during the late 19th century. Engraved by Tofani from a photograph taken by Oswaldo Tofani himself, this image was intended to illustrate the enthralling story of "Persia, Chaldee and Susiane" written by Jane Dieulafoy. Jane Dieulafoy, an accomplished archaeologist, writer, and academic officer at the time, provided readers with a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Persia through her captivating storytelling. This particular engraving captures a moment frozen in time - a fisherman merchant going about his daily routine amidst the bustling cityscape of Kachan. The composition beautifully highlights both the subject's intricate attire and their surroundings. The fisherman is depicted wearing traditional garments that reflect their local heritage while exuding an air of authenticity. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring life to every aspect of this enchanting scene. Published in 1883 as part of Tour du monde edited by Edouard Charton for Hachette edition in Paris, this print serves as a testament to not only Dieulafoy's literary prowess but also Tofani's artistic talent. It offers viewers today an opportunity to travel back in time and immerse themselves within the vivid landscapes and diverse cultures that once thrived within ancient Persia.
