This image is attributed to Antoin Sevruguin and appears in the "History of Photography and Pioneer Photographers" in Iran by Yahya Zoka. Published in 1997 by Offset Press Inc., Tehran. The image is described in Parsi as "Ajim Bridge in Gilan". The number "730" in white also appears on recto. The image is taken closer to the bridge than the photograph in the collection and indeed no people appear in the forefront of the image.
A variation of this photograph is in the Institute for Iranian Contemporary Historical Studies. The image is described as "Women washing clothes in a river". The description on the Ministry of Culture card is "In the road of Anzali-Tehran, in Rasht, a bridge, Anzali is the former name of Bandar Pahlavi".
