EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print depicts the Shah of Persia, a monarch of the Qajar Dynasty, adorned in his ceremonial attire and elaborate bejeweled crown. The Shah, with a long flowing beard, wears a voluminous robe, embroidered with intricate floral designs and gold thread. His belt is adorned with precious stones and a dagger and sword are at his side. The Shah's crown, a symbol of his royal power and authority, is encrusted with pearls, rubies, and other precious gems. The print, titled "Shah of Persia" and created by Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer for Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the Shah's court during the 19th century. The Shah's regal appearance and the intricate details of his attire and crown reflect the rich and complex history of Persian culture and tradition.
