Iran Skyline with Ferdowsi's Verse
Materials
Fine Art Prints
Premium archival matte fine art paper, 200–230 gsm. Smooth, bright white surface with an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. Printed with archival inks for accurate color and high-contrast reproduction. FSC-certified sustainable paper.
Framed Prints
Solid wood frame, roughly 0.875″ wide, available in light, black, or white. Protected by shatterproof optical-grade acrylic — lighter and safer than glass, and it ships without risk of breakage. Dry-mounted to foam core with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire installed, ready to hang out of the box.
Production
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
Seven landmarks drawn in a single unbroken gold line, running from the columns of Persepolis to the spire of Milad Tower, with Damavand's snow-capped cone rising behind all of them. Above sits the line every Iranian knows as Ferdowsi's — چو ایران نباشد تن من مباد — if there is no Iran, may my body not be.
The skyline is a route rather than a city. It crosses the plateau and three thousand years at the same time, ancient to modern, without a break in the line.
