EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in Iranian history as Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi (b. 1960) looks on during the coronation ceremony of his father, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1919-1980), on October 26, 1967. The coronation marked the twenty-sixth year of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's reign and his assumption of the ancient title Shahanshah, or "Emperor" or "King of Kings." The opulent ceremony took place in Tehran and was a grand display of Persian culture and tradition, as well as the wealth and power of the Iranian monarchy. The Shah and his family were dressed in traditional Persian garb, and the event was filled with extravagant displays of opulence, including a procession of gold-plated chariots and a throne made of solid gold. The coronation was a significant moment in Iranian history, symbolizing the continuation of the Pahlavi dynasty and the Shah's commitment to modernizing and westernizing Iran. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of Iranian history, one marked by tradition, power, and opulence.
