The general map from Edward Granville Browne's 'A Year Among the Persians', showing his route from Kurdinstan to Terhran, Shiraz and Kerman, and across the sea to Baku. Browne (1862-1926) was a British Iranologist who spent a year there in 1887-8. This account was very favourable towards the Persians, who reciprocated their feelings: a Tehran street named after him and a statue survived the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
