Pascal Coste, a French painter and architect, traveled to Iran during the period of Mohammad Shah Qajar and had the opportunity to make detailed paintings of the buildings, cities and grounds of Iran. Paintings that became historical documents.

One of these paintings by Kost is related to Qajar Palace in Tehran. A palace that later became a palace prison, and in the end, there is no sign of it except for a small hood.

Therefore, the images left from Pascal Coast’s trip to Iran are very important and the image information left from a period when the condition of many buildings was different.
