Luigi Pesce's "Summer residence (Qasr) of the Shah, Emarat-e xoruji, Teheran, Iran" (1840-1869) is a striking photographic depiction of the Shah's summer palace in Tehran. This evocative, large-scale photograph captures the intricate architectural details of the palace, including its symmetrical facade, arched windows, and decorative elements. The reflection of the building in the water adds to the image's depth and visual interest. Taken during a period of significant modernization in Iran, this photo offers a valuable glimpse into the Shah's opulent lifestyle and the country's architectural heritage.
