This year I have discovered the photos of
Sevruguin and I it was one of the best discoveries I have made.
I saw his book: Sevruguin and the Persian
Image, photographs of Iran, 1870-1930 and I couldn’t be more fascinated.
His photos of daily life scenes are absolutely
fantastic.
I love this photo that shows an ice cream
seller with his cart. “ … The ice cream seller early in the morning pours milk
into a tall cylindrical tin bucket, which he has place in a larger vat of ice.
Using a long wooden spatula he continuously stirs the milk, which slowly
thickness, He may add a touch or rosewater and some cream…” In Sevruguin and
the Persian Image p73.
