Photo Album of Iranian Zoroastrians, 1934-1937

Abstract

The photographs in this album depict the Iranian Zoroastrian communities of Yazd, Kerman, and Tehran. Taken between 1934 and 1937, the photographs were originally compiled together as part of a bound photo album produced for the Iranian Zoroastrian Anjoman of Bombay: many of the photos bear the stamp of the organization on their reverse sides. These photographs were taken and compiled by administrators of Parsi-funded charities in order to demonstrate to Bombay-based Parsi benefactors how their charity efforts were being used inside Iran.
