This rare art book composed of collages of texts, photos and slogans has a very interesting structure. It opens on the four sides of a folding brochure starting with the image of Mossadegh and ending with that of Khomeini. As the reference book 'The Enghelab Street, a revolution through books, Iran 1979-1983' by Hannah Darabi states, this book was published by Farajollah Farzadfar and Jahangir Ahi, furthermore these are the authors' statements: 'The ensemble before your eyes is neither propaganda nor militancy. The images and ideas present in this collection mirror the reality of the succession of events that took place in Tehran. They show the millions of inhabitants of this city who, neither consciously or unconsciously, became, in one way or another, actors or spectators of these scenes full of spirit which wrote themselves into story. The reasons for this revolution, its unfolding, and its result can all be discovered within the pages of history.”
