Persia past and present; a book of travel and research, with more than two hundred illustrations and a map
A 1906 travel and research book by the American Indologist A. V. Williams Jackson, published in New York and London by Macmillan, aimed at general readers interested in Persia and Zoroastrianism. The four pictures are sepia-toned photographs of a flat-roofed mud-walled settlement under barren hills, a carved stone doorway with figures, a town clinging to a rocky cliff, and a weathered stone block with rectangular openings; a designer could draw on their earthy palette, ruined architecture and dry landscapes.
