Safarnāmah-i Tihrān bih Shīrāz

Authored by two graduates of the prestigious Dār al-Funūn, Muḥammad Ḥusayn Mīrzā Muhandis and ʻAlī Khān Muhandis, this work offers a detailed historical account of a journey undertaken in the late 19th century from Tihrān to Shīrāz. Edited by Farshād Abrīshamī and published by Khānah-i Tārīkh va Taṣvīr-i Abrīshamī, the text serves as a significant primary source for understanding the geography, local history, and social fabric of Qajar Īrān. The travelogue captures the observations of technically trained observers, providing a unique perspective on the landscapes and settlements between the capital and the cultural hub of Fārs province.
