Palace Attendants (Runners), Persia (Iran), 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken in 1918 by Bain News Service, a group of palace attendants, known as "runners," are captured going about their duties at the royal court. Wearing traditional Persian attire with intricate head dresses and ornate uniforms, these men were responsible for conveying messages between officials within the palace complex.
The image is rendered in black and white tones by George Grantham Bain's skilled hand, capturing every detail of the attendants' regalia as well as their solemn expressions. The somber mood may be attributed to the tumultuous times: World War I had just ended, leaving a trail of devastation across Europe and beyond.
This photograph is not only an important historical record but also a testament to the enduring traditions of Persian culture. It provides a glimpse into the daily life of these palace attendants as they went about their duties in service to the royal family. This remarkable image has been preserved by Heritage Images, ensuring its legacy for generations to come.
