Mirza Akbar made this drawing between 1870 and 1875. It’s part of a huge set of 238 designs once owned by an architect in Tehran. Most sheets were cut from long scrolls. Some show old Iranian patterns. Others borrow floral fashions from Europe. You can still see how ideas traveled back then. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
