EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic beauty of the Madrasah-ye Chahar Bagh, also known as Madar-e Shah, or the Kings Mother, in the historic city of Esfahan, Iran. The image, taken by renowned French photographer Charles Albert Lebourg in 1928, showcases the intricate architectural details of this ancient educational institution. The central dome, adorned with intricate geometric patterns and calligraphy, dominates the scene, while the minaret, with its elegant spiral design, reaches towards the sky. The Madrasah-ye Chahar Bagh was built during the Safavid Empire in the 15th century and served as a theological seminary and a center for Islamic learning. The name "Madar-e Shah" refers to the mother of Shah Abbas I, who is said to have funded the construction of the madrasah in memory of her late husband, Shah Ismail II. The photograph by Charles Albert Lebourg offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Iran, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic traditions that have endured for centuries. The Madrasah-ye Chahar Bagh remains an important landmark in Esfahan, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to explore the city's architectural and historical treasures.
