EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a customary greeting in Persia, dating back to 1907. The image showcases two Persian men engaging in the traditional Muslim greeting of "Salamon Aleykum" (Peace be with you), which is widely used by Muslims around the world. This vintage artwork is part of the Greetings of the World series of cigarette cards produced by Hignett Bros. Imperial Tobacco Company. The photograph beautifully depicts the cultural etiquette and formal manners prevalent during that era. The men are dressed in traditional Persian costumes, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. Their well-groomed beards add to their dignified appearance. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical value but also in its representation of peace and harmony among different cultures and religions. It serves as a reminder that greetings can transcend language barriers and foster understanding between individuals from diverse backgrounds. As we admire this remarkable piece, it transports us back to a time when customs were cherished, and polite gestures held great importance. It offers us a glimpse into the rich traditions and mannerisms that have shaped Persian culture throughout history. This print evokes nostalgia for simpler times while celebrating cultural diversity, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or display dedicated to preserving our shared heritage.
