EDITORS COMMENTS
On the road to Tehran, on the tops of Aveh Pass (Name TBC), Circa 1926. This print takes us back to a bygone era in Persia, during the 1920s. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a rugged mountainous landscape where donkeys laboriously carry precious cargo along treacherous paths. In this image, mules and their handlers navigate through thick mud and rocky terrain as they transport barrels of oil destined for Tehran. The difficulties of transportation are evident as these hardworking animals bear heavy loads across challenging landscapes. It is no wonder that petrol prices soar in Tehran at around 8 shillings per gallon due to these arduous journeys. The scene captures not only the physical challenges faced by those involved in transporting goods but also provides a glimpse into daily life in Iran during this period. People can be seen accompanying the mules, working together to ensure safe passage amidst nature's obstacles. Photographer Tom Grant has skillfully captured both the beauty and hardships of this moment in history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how human determination and animal companionship were essential elements in overcoming logistical hurdles while keeping economies running smoothly.
