EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Takht-E-Ravan and The Key Kaj Exercise, 1818" takes us on a visual journey through Persia in the early 19th century. Created by James Justinian Morier, this print showcases the rich cultural heritage of the region during his travels. The image depicts a scene filled with vibrant details and intricate designs. Men adorned in traditional head dresses and beards engage in an exhilarating jousting match, showcasing their equestrian skills and bravery. Their lances held high as they charge towards each other with determination. In the background, majestic mountains rise against the sky, adding to the grandeur of the moment. A horse-drawn sedan can be seen nearby, symbolizing both luxury and practicality for transportation in this era. This illustration offers a glimpse into Persian Islamic culture at that time - from its distinctive male fashion to its strong ties to horsemanship and warfare. It also highlights elements specific to Kurdish traditions within Iran's diverse ethnic landscape. As we admire this historical artwork from Morier's book "A Second Journey through Persia" we are transported back in time to witness these extraordinary moments firsthand. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and documentation of important cultural practices that have shaped Iran's history for centuries.
