EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Luigi Pesce in 1859, showcases the Tomb of the Khan of Khiva at Teheran. The image transports us back to the 19th century, allowing us to witness this architectural marvel in all its glory. The albumen silver print from a paper negative adds a touch of vintage elegance to the scene. The tomb stands as a testament to Iran's rich cultural heritage and Islamic influence. Its grandeur is emphasized against the stark landscape surrounding it, creating a striking contrast that draws our attention. As we gaze upon this mausoleum, we can't help but ponder on concepts such as life and death. Luigi Pesce's Italian background shines through his meticulous composition and attention to detail in capturing this religious site. His photography skillfully captures both the exterior beauty of the building and its spiritual significance within Iranian culture. Now housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as a window into history for art enthusiasts worldwide. It allows us to explore not only Iran's past but also its connection with Uzbekistan through the Khanate of Khiva. As we admire Pesce's work, let us appreciate how photography can transcend time and space, preserving moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
