MORRIS (James), WOOD (Roger) & WRIGHT (Denis) Paris, Les Éditions Braun, n.d. (circa 1965–1970). Large folio, hardcover with illustrated dust jacket. A magnificent photographic work devoted to historical Persia, produced before the profound transformations that took place at the end of the 20th century.

Through mosques, palaces, gardens, caravanserais, and monumental landscapes, the book captures the architectural and cultural splendor of imperial Iran. The color photographs, printed with particular care, constitute a precious visual record of an exceptional heritage. This volume is representative of the major travel and art history publications issued by Braun in the 1960s and 1970s. Condition: a very good copy with an illustrated dust jacket.
