Gezicht op de berg Demaoend in Perzië, met op de voorgrond mannen in de weer met een driepoot c. 1880 - 1895

This photograph by Antoine Sevruguin titled "Gezicht op de berg Demaoend in Perzië, met op de voorgrond mannen in de weer met een driepoot" (circa 1880-1895) captures a striking view of the snow-capped peak of Mount Damavand in Persia. The foreground features a group of men working with a tripod, possibly conducting scientific or surveying work. The image, likely taken during Sevruguin's travels through Persia, showcases the photographer's interest in documenting the landscapes and daily life of the region. This work exemplifies the genre of travel photography, a popular form of image-making in the 19th century that aimed to capture and share scenes from different cultures. The photo's crisp details and composition create a sense of depth and scale, highlighting the majestic presence of the mountain against the expanse of the Persian landscape.
