Women’s Worlds in Qajar Iran – Antoin Sevruguin
After his death from a kidney infection Sevruguin’s images resurfaced. He was survived by seven children from his marriage to Louise Gourgenian. His daughter Mary reclaimed a portion of the photos, perhaps through a friendship with Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (reigned 1941–1979). 696 of his negatives survive today.
