Description

Book Synopsis: “Antoin Sevruguin (late 1830s-1933) was a celebrated photographer of late-nineteenth-century Iran. Sevruguin had two lifelong obsessions. The first was a cherished desire to record Iran in all its facets on glass plates; the second was to capture light in his photographs the way he so admired in Rembrandt’s paintings.”--BOOK JACKET. “In addition to his numerous pictures of urban life and portraits made in his famous studio in Tehran, Sevruguin made a photographic inventory of the landscape, archaeological sites, and people of Azarbaijan and continued the project in Kurdistan and Luristan (in southwestern Iran).”--BOOK JACKET. “In this generously illustrated book, the first ever devoted to Sevruguin and his singular work, six distinguished authors explore the photographer’s life and career.”--BOOK JACKET.
