EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as the Shah of Persia, ruler of present-day Iran, confidently drives through the bustling streets of Tehran in his car. The year is 1900, and the scene is filled with a mix of awe and fear from his subjects who line the streets to catch a glimpse of their powerful leader.
The Shah's presence behind the wheel symbolizes modernity and progress in a country steeped in tradition. His luxurious vehicle stands out against the backdrop of historic buildings, showcasing both the past and future colliding on these ancient streets.
As he navigates through the city, it's clear that his subjects are both intrigued by his mode of transport and intimidated by his authority. The expressions on their faces tell a story of respect mixed with trepidation, as they watch their ruler pass by with an air of confidence that commands attention.
This image serves as a reminder of Iran's rich history and complex relationship between its leaders and people. It captures a moment frozen in time when technology was beginning to transform society, yet traditional power structures still held sway over daily life. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this snapshot for us to reflect on how far we've come since those early days of motoring in Tehran.
