Title:
Seated Man in Traditional Dress, Persia, Photographer unknown, circa 1870
Description:
A rare early stereoview depicting a Persian man seated before a plain backdrop, dressed in traditional attire including a tall felt or wool cap and a long robe over a belted garment. His neatly groomed moustache and composed expression convey a sense of quiet dignity. This image provides valuable documentary evidence of regional costume and portrait conventions in 19th-century Persia. The neutral setting emphasizes the figure’s distinctive clothing and posture, making it a compelling study of cultural identity during the Qajar era.
