EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent photograph captures a pivotal moment in Iranian history, as His Majesty Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, bestows upon his Queen, Farah Diba, the title of Empress during his grand coronation ceremony on October 26, 1967. Twenty-six years into his reign, the Shah chose to assume the ancient title of Shahanshah, or Emperor, signifying his status as King of Kings. The opulent event took place in Tehran, showcasing the grandeur and opulence of the Persian monarchy. Surrounded by an array of courtiers and dignitaries, the Shah and Empress sat upon the Peacock Throne, a symbol of the Iranian monarchy's rich heritage and history. The coronation marked a significant moment in Iranian history, as the country continued to modernize and assert its place on the global stage. The extravagant ceremony reflected the Shah's vision for a prosperous and powerful Iran, a vision that would be challenged in the years to come.
