Iran · Public
Five public generations of Iran’s last imperial house: from Reza Shah, the Cossack officer who crowned himself, through Mohammad Reza and Farah, to Reza Pahlavi and the daughters raised in American exile.
Old family pictures, with the faces named. Point at a face to see who it is, or open a person to follow them to the tree.
Scan a photograph from the shoebox — a wedding, a Sunday on the porch, the grandparents young — and name the people in it. Each face becomes a door to that person on the tree.
The Pahlavi dynasty
