Scope and Contents:
"Presumably a mausoleum, the structure dates to the late 12th century - Seljuq - times. More recently, the new date of early fourteenth century is suggested for the structure. The photo depicts the entrance to the structure, apparently sealed, with a figure standing beside it. The figure would provide a sense of scale, which in the case of this image is the feature of the building in photographer's focus." [Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives, Curatorial Research Assistant]
- Scratched handwritten number (inked, probably by Antoin Sevruguin) reads, "468."
- Myron Bement Smith handwritten caption in English reads, "47.P; Box 36.6: Mosque. Entrance." [Myron Bement Smith Collection, Subseries 2.1: Islamic Archives History, Collection Information; Box 60; Folder 44: 47 P: Antoine Sevruguin, glass negatives, Iran]
Arrangement:
According to Myron B. Smith handwritten document (Myron Bement Smith Collection, Subseries 2.1: Islamic Archives History, Collection Information; Box 60; Folder 44: 47 P Antoine Sevruguin, glass negatives, Iran), Antoin Sevruguin's 696 glass negatives, at the time of their acquisition, were arranged into 61 boxes without any apparent organization. Today they are housed in archival document boxes, essentially duplicating the original arrangement, and stored on shelves. This glass negative was included into "Box 36."
Biographical / Historical:
Antoin Sevruguin is one of the early pioneers of commercial photography in Iran. He arrived in Iran from Tbilisi, Georgia in the mid 1870s to set up shop in Ala al-Dawla street in Tehran. From the early days, Sevruguin's studio was trusted both by the Qajar court and by foreign visitors to Iran. Highly regarded for their artistic ingenuity outside Iran, Sevruguin's photographs of 'ethnic types,' architecture and landscape, and depictions of daily life of Tehran found their way into foreign travelogues, magazines and books. As such, he stands alone in a relatively large group of early Iranian photographers for being recognized and celebrated outside the boundaries of the country. Antoin Sevruguin passed away in 1933, leaving behind only a fraction of his large collection of glass negatives, which is currently in the Archives of the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery.

Antoin Sevruguin operated a successful commercial photography studio in Tehran and was a court photographer to Nasr ed-Din Shah and succeeding Qajar rulers. Sevruguin's daughter and heir donated his glass negatives to the American Presbyterian Mission in Tehran. The Committee for Islamic Culture, which administered the Islamic Archives, purchased 695 negatives from the Presbyterian Mission in 1951. The collection also includes 164 silver gelatin prints, 98 acquired by Myron Bement Smith(MBS) in 1934 and 66 donated by Joseph Upton in 1953. The glass negatives are numbered but without apparent organization. MBS organized his photoprints into subject categories. Upton's photoprints are numbered according to a handwritten caption list.

- 66 black-and-white gelatin silver photoprints, unmounted, were a gift from Joseph Upton, received by the committee for Islamic Culture, as reported in their official minutes of October 24, 1953. The 66 photoprints were initially purchased by Joseph Upton in 1928 from Antoin Sevruguin in Tehran.
- 695 glass negatives were included into the "Islamic Archives," which was administered jontly by the committee for Islamic Culture and the committee for Arabic and Islamic Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies. According to the official minutes, the committee for Islamic Culture reported purchasing the 696 glass plates during their fiscal years 1951-1952 from the American Presbyterian Mission in Tehran. Antoin Sevruguin's daughter gave these plates to the mission with instruction that they be sold for the benefit of the mission.
- 98 gelatin silver photoprints were collected by Myron Bement Smith after he viewed a portion of Sevruguin's negatives in 1934 ( these include recent finds in the Myron Bement Smith collection).
In addition of Antoin Sevruguin's 695 glass negatives and 164 silver gelatin prints in the Myron Bement Smith collection the Archives holds: 18 albumen prints in theJay Bisno Collection of Sevruguin Photographs (FSA A.15); 34 photographic prints in the Ernst Herzfeld Papers (FSA A.6); as well as a photograph album and individual albumen prints donated by Stephen Arpee (FSA A2011.03). Finally, the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives also own 3 separate gelatin silver prints.

Biographical / Historical:
Antoin Sevruguin managed and operated one of the most successful commercial photography studios in Tehran in the late 19th century. Born in the 1840s in Iran, Sevruguin's mother returned with her children to her hometown of Tbilisi after his father Vassil, a Russian diplomat in Iran, died in a horse riding accident. Trained as a painter, Sevruguin returned to Iran in the early 1870s accompanied by his two brothers, establishing a photography studio first in Tabriz and then Tehran. His studio's ties to Tbilisi, however, persisted through the years; many of the early portraits of Dervishes and women have been simultaneously attributed to Antoin Sevruguin and Dimitri Yermakov, the Georgian photographer who is often referred to as Sevruguin's mentor from Tbilisi. Many of Antoin Sevruguin's photographs were published as early as 1885 in travelogues, journals and books indicating that by that time he had a fully established practice in Tehran's Ala al-Dawla street, with ties to the court of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar. Often unacknowledged as the producer of published images in his own time - the 1902 photographic survey of Persepolis being the most glaring of such authorial misrepresentations - he was nevertheless celebrated and acknowledged for his artistic vision and his keen eye for composition, achieving the Medal of Lion and Sun from Nasir al-Din Shah, the 1897 Medal of Honour in the Brussels International Exposition, and the 1900 Medal of Honour in Paris International Exposition. Reflecting a career that spans nearly half a century, Sevruguin's diverse body of work includes studio portraits of families, women and dervishes, survey photographs of archeological sites, objects, landscapes and architecture, and photographs of royalty, high officials and ceremonies of the Qajar court. The range of his output not only demonstrates his own pictorial concerns and artistic abilities but also the divergent interests of his clients. Despite numerous devastating incidents throughout his career - the loss of more than half of his negatives in a 1908 blast and fire, an unsuccessful attempt at diversifying into cinematography in the 1910s, and the confiscation of the remainder of his negatives in the mid-1920s to name a few - his studio remained operational even after his death in 1933. A number of negatives from the Sevruguin studio can be dated to the years after Antoin's death, indicating that the Sevruguin studio continued to be commercially viable. As one of the most prolific early commercial photographers in Iran, Antoin Sevruguin's artistic legacy has since proved far more enduring.

- "Ernst Herzfeld Papers; Cyanotypes File 11", which was arranged by Ernst Herzfeld, provides 338 photographic prints which relate to field study of various architectural buildings and archaeological remains at Baghdad (Iraq), Kufa (Iraq), Hamadan (Iran), Sunghur (Iran), Asadabad (Iran), Alamut (Iran), Rayy (Iran), Tehran (Iran), Varamin (Iran), Qum (Iran), Qara Tepe (Iran), Isfahan (Iran), Linjan District (Iran), Pasargadae (Iran), Naqsh-i Rustam (Iran), Band-i Amir (Iran), Firuzabad (Iran), Shiraz (Iran), Island of Kharg (Iran), Na'in (Iran), Kerman (Iran), Sistan (Iran), and Zahedan (Iran).
- Additional information from Joseph Upton's Catalogue of the Herzfeld Archive reads, "The prints are from three sources: (1) those from glass negatives; (2) those from cut film; and (3) those for which there are no negatives. The Archive contains Herzfeld's glass negatives, numbered from 1 to 3850. Of most of these he had blueprints made which he had arranged in 16 binders by general categories, irrespective of the number on the negative. These formed the nucleus for the preparation of the Photo Files. The 16 binders of blueprints have been replaced by Photo Files, Nos. 1-16. The prints in each File are arranged in the same order as the blueprints; and the number of the negative is enclosed in parentheses. Following a brief identification, is a reference to the place where the print has been published, if that is the case and such publication has been located."
- "Ernst Herzfeld Papers; Cyanotypes File 11" is composed of 338 cyanotype prints (blueprints), made from the following glass plates, "FSA a.6 04.GN.1196; FSA a.6 04.GN.2707; FSA a.6 04.GN.2702; FSA a.6 04.GN.2701;

Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 4: Photographic Files; Persian Architecture (Cyanotypes File 11)
Arrangement:
- Of most of his 3,890 glass negatives, Herzfeld had blueprints made which he arranged in 16 binders irrespective of the number on the negative. In addition to the 16 blueprint binders, he assembled 5 albums including two from the Samarra series labelled "Paläste und Moscheen-I and -II." The remainder of the photographs, from glass negatives and from cut films, sometimes identified by Herzfeld, were printed en masse for study purpose (labelled by Upton as duplicate prints) and which are, for the most part, unpublished. For his own research, Herzfeld also collected prints from many sources. Of those there are no negatives. Finally, in early 1970s, Joseph Upton reorganized the whole Herzfeld collection of photographic prints into 42 photographic files, assembling 14 additional files in excess of the 21 existing files arranged by Herzfeld himself. The eight remaining files, File 35 to File 42, are made of duplicate prints provided by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

Scope and Contents:
- "Photo File 11, Volume 1", which was assembled by Joseph Upton, provides 152 photographic prints which relate to field study of various architectural buildings and archaeological remains at Baghdad (Iraq), Kufa (Iraq), Hamadan (Iran), Sunghur (Iran), Asadabad (Iran), Alamut (Iran), Rayy (Iran), Tehran (Iran), Varamin (Iran), Qum (Iran), Qara Tepe (Iran), and Isfahan (Iran).
- Additional information from Joseph Upton's Catalogue of the Herzfeld Archive reads, "The prints are from three sources: (1) those from glass negatives; (2) those from cut film; and (3) those for which there are no negatives. The Archive contains Herzfeld's glass negatives, numbered from 1 to 3850. Of most of these he had blueprints made which he had arranged in 16 binders by general categories, irrespective of the number on the negative. These formed the nucleus for the preparation of the Photo Files. The 16 binders of blueprints have been replaced by Photo Files, Nos. 1-16. The prints in each File are arranged in the same order as the blueprints; and the number of the negative is enclosed in parentheses. Following a brief identification, is a reference to the place where the print has been published, if that is the case and such publication has been located."

Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 4: Photographic Files; Persian Architecture and Landscapes (Photo File 11, vol. 1)
Arrangement:
- Of most of his 3,890 glass negatives, Herzfeld had blueprints made which he arranged in 16 binders irrespective of the number on the negative. In addition to the 16 blueprint binders, he assembled 5 albums including two from the Samarra series labelled "Paläste und Moscheen-I and -II." The remainder of the photographs, from glass negatives and from cut films, sometimes identified by Herzfeld, were printed en masse for study purpose (labelled by Upton as duplicate prints) and which are, for the most part, unpublished. For his own research, Herzfeld also collected prints from many sources. Of those there are no negatives. Finally, in early 1970s, Joseph Upton reorganized the whole Herzfeld collection of photographic prints into 42 photographic files, assembling 10 additional files in excess of the 24 existing files arranged by Herzfeld himself. The eight remaining files, File 35 to File 42, are made of duplicate prints provided by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 4: Photographic Files; "Miscellaneous, Museum of Shah" and Related Objects (Cyanotypes File 13)
Arrangement:
- Of most of his 3,890 glass negatives, Herzfeld had blueprints made which he arranged in 16 binders irrespective of the number on the negative. In addition to the 16 blueprint binders, he assembled 5 albums including two from the Samarra series labelled "Paläste und Moscheen-I and -II." The remainder of the photographs, from glass negatives and from cut films, sometimes identified by Herzfeld, were printed en masse for study purpose (labelled by Upton as duplicate prints) and which are, for the most part, unpublished. For his own research, Herzfeld also collected prints from many sources. Of those there are no negatives. Finally, in early 1970s, Joseph Upton reorganized the whole Herzfeld collection of photographic prints into 42 photographic files, assembling 14 additional files in excess of the 21 existing files arranged by Herzfeld himself. The eight remaining files, File 35 to File 42, are made of duplicate prints provided by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

Scope and Contents:
- "Photo File 13, Volume 1", which was assembled by Joseph Upton, provides 137 photographic prints of antiquities; silver, copper, bronze, stone, bone, and clay objects; amulets, buttons and seals; tablets as well as pottery with painted patterns (geometric ornaments and animal design), from Bujnurd (Iran), Constantinople (Turkey), Nihavand (Iran), Baghdad (Iraq), Kufa (Iraq), the prehistoric mound of Tepe Giyan (Iran), Luristan province (Iran), Hamadan (Iran), and Kuh-e Khwaja (Iran), Rayy (Iran), and from the Museum of Shah, Tehran (Iran).
- Additional information from Joseph Upton's Catalogue of the Herzfeld Archive reads, "The prints are from three sources: (1) those from glass negatives; (2) those from cut film; and (3) those for which there are no negatives. The Archive contains Herzfeld's glass negatives, numbered from 1 to 3850. Of most of these he had blueprints made which he had arranged in 16 binders by general categories, irrespective of the number on the negative. These formed the nucleus for the preparation of the Photo Files. The 16 binders of blueprints have been replaced by Photo Files, Nos. 1-16. The prints in each File are arranged in the same order as the blueprints; and the number of the negative is enclosed in parentheses. Following a brief identification, is a reference to the place where the print has been published, if that is the case and such publication has been located."
- "Photo File 13, Volume 1" is composed of 137 photographic prints, made from the following glass plates, "FSA a.6 04.GN.0020; FSA a.6 04.GN.0021; FSA a.6 04.GN.0021a; FSA a.6 04.GN.0022; FSA a.6 04.GN.0138; FSA a.6 04.GN.0139; FSA a.6 04.GN.0140; FSA a.6 04.GN.0141; FSA a.6 04.GN.0142; FSA a.6 04.GN.0143; FSA a.6 04.GN.0144; FSA a.6 04.GN.0145; FSA a.6 04.GN.0146; FSA a.6 04.GN.0147; FSA a.6 04.GN.0149; FSA a.6 04.GN.0150; FSA a.6 04.GN.0151; FSA a.6 04.GN.0152; FSA a.6 04.GN.0153; FSA a.6 04.GN.0154; FSA a.6 04.GN.0155; FSA a.6 04.GN.0156; FSA a.6 04.GN.0157; FSA a.6 04.GN.0158; FSA a.6 04.GN.0159; FSA a.6 04.GN.0160; FSA a.6 04.GN.0210; FSA a.6 04.GN.0211; FSA a.6 04.GN.0212; FSA a.6 04.GN.0213; FSA a.6 04.GN.0214; FSA a.6 04.GN.0215; FSA a.6 04.GN.0216; FSA a.6 04.GN.0217; FSA a.6 04.GN.0218; FSA a.6 04.GN.0219; FSA a.6 04.GN.0220; FSA a.6 04.GN.0221; FSA a.6 04.GN.0222; FSA a.6 04.GN.0223; FSA a.6 04.GN.0224; FSA a.6 04.GN.0225; FSA a.6 04.GN.0226; FSA a.6 04.GN.0227; FSA a.6 04.GN.0228; FSA a.6 04.GN.0229; FSA a.6 04.GN.0230; FSA a.6 04.GN.0231; FSA a.6 04.GN.0232; FSA a.6 04.GN.0233; FSA a.6 04.GN.0327; FSA a.6 04.GN.0328; FSA a.6 04.GN.0329; FSA a.6 04.GN.0330; FSA a.6 04.GN.0331; FSA a.6 04.GN.0332; FSA a.6 04.GN.0333; FSA a.6 04.GN.0423; FSA a.6 04.GN.0436; FSA a.6 04.GN.0437; FSA a.6 04.GN.0438; FSA a.6 04.GN.0439; FSA a.6 04.GN.0440; FSA a.6 04.GN.0441; FSA a.6 04.GN.0442; FSA a.6 04.GN.0443; FSA a.6 04.GN.0444; FSA a.6 04.GN.0445; FSA a.6 04.GN.0446; FSA a.6 04.GN.0447; FSA a.6 04.GN.0718; FSA a.6 04.GN.0738; FSA a.6 04.GN.1038; FSA a.6 04.GN.1039; FSA a.6 04.GN.1040; FSA a.6 04.GN.1047; FSA a.6 04.GN.1048; FSA a.6 04.GN.1049; FSA a.6 04.GN.1099; FSA a.6 04.GN.1100; FSA a.6 04.GN.1101; FSA a.6 04.GN.1103; FSA a.6 04.GN.1104; FSA a.6 04.GN.1105; FSA a.6 04.GN.1106; FSA a.6 04.GN.1107; FSA a.6 04.GN.1108; FSA a.6 04.GN.1109; FSA a.6 04.GN.1132; FSA a.6 04.GN.1133; FSA a.6 04.GN.1134; FSA a.6 04.GN.1138; FSA a.6 04.GN.1139; FSA a.6 04.GN.1143; FSA a.6 04.GN.1149; FSA a.6 04.GN.1153; FSA a.6 04.GN.1155; FSA a.6 04.GN.1177; FSA a.6 04.GN.1197; FSA a.6 04.GN.1198; FSA a.6 04.GN.1199; FSA a.6 04.GN.1200; FSA a.6 04.GN.1411; FSA a.6 04.GN.1203; FSA a.6 04.GN.1204; FSA a.6 04.GN.1307; FSA a.6 04.GN.1308; FSA a.6 04.GN.1309; FSA a.6 04.GN.1310; FSA a.6 04.GN.1311; FSA a.6 04.GN.1312; FSA a.6 04.GN.1313; FSA a.6 04.GN.1314; FSA a.6 04.GN.1315; FSA a.6 04.GN.1316; FSA a.6 04.GN.1317; FSA a.6 04.GN.1318; FSA a.6 04.GN.1319; FSA a.6 04.GN.1320; FSA a.6 04.GN.1321; FSA a.6 04.GN.1322; FSA a.6 04.GN.1323; FSA a.6 04.GN.1324; FSA a.6 04.GN.1325; FSA a.6 04.GN.1326; FSA a.6 04.GN.1327; FSA a.6 04.GN.1328; FSA a.6 04.GN.1329; FSA a.6 04.GN.1330; FSA a.6 04.GN.1331."

[Joseph M. Upton's Catalogue of the Herzfeld Archive, compiled in 1974]
Arrangement:
In the original arrangement of the Ernst Herzfeld Archive, Travel Journals were included in a larger body of diverse material acknowledged by Ernst Herzfeld as his study collection. In the early 1970s, Joseph Upton, for research purpose, rearranged the collection and created a specific series (Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 1: Travel Journals, 1905-1928) for eight travel journals. For some reason, Upton has given this journal an accession number related to the series he created for the Samarra material (Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 7: Records of Samarra Expeditions, 1906-1945), probably following Herzfeld's original organization.
