Harris & Sons, this print captures the essence of a festive celebration in Persia during the 19th century. The image showcases a lively scene filled with people dressed in exquisite national costumes, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Iran. The women are adorned in colorful and intricately designed dresses, while men don traditional attire complete with turbans and flowing robes. Flags flutter proudly in the background, adding to the sense of patriotic fervor. An allegorical figure stands at the center of attention, symbolizing joy and merriment associated with holidays. This cigarette card was not only collectible but also served as a visual representation of different cultures from around the world. George S. Harris & Sons were renowned for their commercial color lithographs that often featured scenes from various countries and traditions.
