Abstract
The photographs in this album depict the Iranian Zoroastrian communities of Yazd, Kerman, and Tehran. Taken between 1934 and 1937, the photographs were originally compiled together as part of a bound photo album produced for the Iranian Zoroastrian Anjoman of Bombay: many of the photos bear the stamp of the organization on their reverse sides. These photographs were taken and compiled by administrators of Parsi-funded charities in order to demonstrate to Bombay-based Parsi benefactors how their charity
efforts were being used inside Iran.
