Naser Pourpirar and Naseruddin Shah Qajar: Rviewing a Ten-year Legend (2)

In his series of blog notes in 2013, which were published a few years later in his book “The Rising of the People”, Naser Pourpirar claimed that Naser al-Din Shah never went to Europe and that his photos during these trips were fake. He also claimed that the news of his travels was not reflected in the publications. In this article, by referring to sources, archives of photos and publications, while presenting a number of photos of Naser al-Din Shah during his trip to Europe, the news of Naser al-Din Shah’s first trip to Europe in 1873 AD, is briefly extracted from the Graphic weekly and the claim of Porpirar. As a result of this research, it has been found that Porpirar’s statements in this regard are completely false and due to his ignorance of the sources, photo collections and publications of that time.
