EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View Near Ispahan, 1890" takes us back in time to the flourishing city of Isfahan during the Safavid dynasty. The Perso-Islamic architecture that made this city famous is beautifully showcased in the image. As we delve into its historical context, we discover an intriguing aspect of Isfahan's past - the Pigeon Towers. During the 16th and 17th centuries, these towers were constructed with a unique purpose: to supply guano as fertilizer for the city's renowned watermelon fields. This fascinating connection between nature and architecture highlights the ingenuity of those times. The photograph itself is an engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a book by Edmund Ollier published in London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. Its monochrome composition adds depth and character to this aged depiction of Isfahan's countryside. In this scenic landscape, a flock of birds can be seen resting near one of these historic pigeon towers while a lone man stands nearby. His presence gives us a sense of scale against the backdrop of Persian history unfolding before our eyes. As we admire this remarkable piece capturing both architectural marvels and natural beauty, it serves as a reminder that even within historical contexts lies hidden stories waiting to be discovered.
