Tehran Street Tram
The street trams in Tehran at the turn of the Gregorian century and featured in the second book of the series: Gypsy in the Shah’s Harem.
This photo was probably taken by Massoud Mirza Zalulsoltan (1850-1918), the ruler of Isfahan (1907-1872) and the grand child of Nasir al-Din Shah. Son of Soltan, Bahram Mirza sitting in the middle of the photo on the chair, and two courtiers are sitting next to him (Reza Gilikhan, the court clerk on the right, and Akagaji, the head of the Khajgan on the left) along with the eight African slaves. A pattern for clothing and hat of African slaves is a form of ethnic discrimination.
