A Regal Arrival - Shah of Persia Touches Down in Ourmiah
EDITORS COMMENTS
January 1911 - The streets of Ourmiah, Iran are abuzz with excitement as Ahmad Shah Qajar, the reigning monarch of Persia (modern-day Iran), arrives on a visit to this historic city. This striking photograph captures the momentous occasion, showcasing the grandeur and pageantry that accompanies the arrival of royalty.
As Ahmed Mirza's motorcade makes its way through the crowded streets, dignitaries and commoners alike gather to catch a glimpse of their beloved Shah. The imposing figure in formal attire is flanked by his retinue, including officials and guards, as he steps out onto the platform. His regal presence seems almost otherworldly against the backdrop of Ourmiah's ancient architecture.
This photograph was taken by George Grantham Bain, a renowned photographer for the Bain News Service - one of the earliest news agencies in America. The image is part of an extensive collection held at the Library of Congress, offering a unique glimpse into Iran's rich history and cultural heritage during this pivotal moment in time.
