A trip to Tehran in the 40s; Mokhbar al-Douleh Square and special classic cars!

A historical and valuable picture of Mokhbar-al-Douleh Square and Refahi Alley in Tehran offers a unique look at the capital of Iran around the year 1344 (1965 AD). This photograph, recorded by Edward Goblin, depicts a view from east to west towards the intersection of Istanbul and is a visual document of the urban context and daily life in Tehran at that time.

This frame takes us on a journey in time; To the decade when Tehran was modernizing at a remarkable speed. In the picture, you can see details of the architecture of that period, classic cars passing by and the mood of the central streets of the capital. Mokhbar al-Douleh Square, as one of the key and busy points of the city, in this photo has a different face than it does today, and this difference doubles its nostalgic and historical value.
