This image appears in colour in “Autour du monde, aquarelles, souvenirs de voyages XL, En Perse. Types, costumes et Moeurs” published by L Boulanger, Paris, c1890 and is titled “Teheran, Epicer Droguiste sur la Place Royale” (CCCXIV). The photogravure is from a set of eight Persian images by Antoin Sevruguin and was printed by Charles Gillot (1853-1903), a Paris based engraver and art collector who incorporated the photographic discoveries of Daguerre and Niepce into his engraving techniques and ultimately perfected a process for reproducing book illustrations in colour. The image has a scratched out number in white ink on recto which cannot be determined in the same location as the albumen print in the Nelson collection. The latter print has an additional number in white ink "193" which is not present on the photogravure.
