Iran of To-day
May 18, 1918 issue

The article presents information on the book "Persian Miniatures," by H.G. Dwight. It recalls lonely Dwight's sketches of the seventeenth-century factor who forwarded to East India Co. in London, England, shah's request for an English "lymbner," and the staid minute containing the resolution of the Honorable Board of Directors to send a good artist, if any. Dwight might well have, found himself sandwiched between the blind romanticism of French novelist Pierre Loti and the bilious records of a host of more recent travellers.
