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.
Reza Shah on a white horse, drawn as street art in magenta and cyan against a graffitied brick wall. He rides in full dress with a teal sash, a bank of medals and a ceremonial sword at his hip — and the horse is walking down a railway line, sleeper by sleeper, ballast and all.
- A white horse rim-lit in cyan, in bridle and tasselled saddlecloth
- Magenta dress uniform with gold braid, order stars and a full ribbon bar
- The peaked cap with its Lion and Sun badge
- The Lion and Sun sprayed in gold and green on the wall behind
- A pink neon sign reading شاهنشاه, and REZA SHAH THE GREAT in orange and green neon at lower left
- Railway track running the width of the foreground
The track is the Trans-Iranian Railway, begun in 1927 and finished in 1938 — some 1,400 kilometres from the Caspian to the Persian Gulf, through 224 tunnels, paid for by a domestic tax on sugar and tea rather than foreign loans, which was the entire point of it. In 1941 Britain and the Soviet Union invaded Iran largely in order to use that line to move supplies. Reza Shah abdicated within weeks.
Perfect for
- Bars, studies and dark-walled rooms
- Street art and neon-poster collectors
- Readers of twentieth-century Iranian history
- Iranians abroad
