یادداشتها
The figure of Iran stands on a globe, holding the national flag aloft. The optimistic nationalism of this image reflects the modernizing programme of Riza Shah Pahlavi (1878-1944), who ruled from 1925, when the Qajar dynasty was deposed, until he was himself deposed by British and Soviet forces in 1941. The production techniques employed were traditional, and the subsidiary motifs - notably the putti holding aloft slogans - are derived from late Qajar art.
Tarihsel bağlam
This piece is a relatively early example of Pahlavi propaganda which evinces many features of late Qajar art. It can therefore be seen as transitional from Qajar art and the Islamic period to the modern Iran of the Pahlavi period and later.
