We cite from the INTRODUCTION :
"The years after 1858 were the glory years of photography in Iran. Nasser ed-Din Shah (1830-1895), the fourth emperor of the Qajar dynasty, was a great supporter of the arts and the person responsible for the promotion of photography in Iran. As a result of the shah's interest in this technology many useful applications of this then modern phenomenon were introduced to Iran. Photography in Iran started with the efforts and practice of people from different countries such as Russia, Italy, Austria and France, who after the invention of photography already had some experience in this field. Among them, the Italians, who were working in the army or as teachers of sciences in Iran, had an outstanding reputation. This helps explain the fact that the pioneering of photography in Iran was undertaken by army officers who were working there. The names of these pioneers and their innovations were recorded in several books and publications of the time of Nasser ed-Din Shah. In this article I will try to describe the achievements in the field of photography by Italians in Iran during the years 1853-1862, using written accounts, documents and albums. The albums of which I speak can be found in the Imperial Albumkhaneh (House of Albums) of the Golestan Palace in Tehran, which is the largest existing collection of photographs of nineteenth-century Iran."
