Needs restoration. Also, it would be helpful if the documentation was improved - what part of Tehran is this, and in which direction does the image look? MER-C 11:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is central of modern Tehran sited north of Tehran at the time of taking the photo. Direction of of photo is south to north. Alborzagros (talk) 11:29, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm more interested in the landmarks - in particular the large square. Would the walled area be what is now the Park-e Shahr and the National Garden, Tehran? (By the way, don't let the silence deter you. Participation is higher than this and this image when restored it is definitely worth considering for its value as a historical document, composition notwithstanding. I believe Adam Cuerden takes requests.) MER-C 20:48, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Park-e Shahr is on the southern tip of Meydān-e Mashq. Now-days the compounds of the Foreign Ministry is located inside the square. Also the Grand Gate of the National Garden is clearly visible in this photo. --Gnosis (talk) 06:13, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
