The Naser al-Din Shah Qajar Memoirs Newspaper, published by the Mahmoud Afshar Foundation and Sokhan Publications, offers a precious collection of historical accounts penned by one of Iran's most prominent monarchs. Compiled and edited by Majid Abdamin, this volume covers the period from Shawwal 1288 AH to Dhu al-Hijjah 1290 AH, including the Shah's first travelogue to Europe. Authored by a Qajar monarch himself, these memoirs underscore the significance of travel narratives in the 19th century, presented uniquely from a royal perspective. Naser al-Din Shah Qajar recognized the allure of this genre, desiring to contribute to it. Travel was essential to him; he meticulously documented his journeys across Iran and abroad. His three trips to Europe in 1873, 1878, and 1889 reveal the integral role travel played in his illustrious reign.
