In the mid-2001, the monograph “Narrative Illustration in
Persian Lithographed Book” by Prof. Ulrich Marzolph from
Göttingen University came to light. The book is a result of
his years-long research on Persian nineteenth – twentieth century
lithographed book, represented mostly by folklore
and classical Persian writings. Until comparatively recent
times, the rise and development of Persian lithographed
book have not attracted special attention of Iranian scholars
who considered the subject not worthy enough of serious
investigation as compared with a thousand-year history of
Persian manuscript book, and only a few articles by European
and Iranian authors on illustrated Persian lithographed
books exist which contain general description of the subject.
The work under review here is the first to treat the
theme in a monographic form. In his work, Prof. Marzolph
reveals himself not only as a real admirer of the art of
Persian lithographed book but also as its thorough investigator.
The scholar’s main service to this field of research
is that he has created a full picture of the lithographed
book phenomenon, including the history of the appearance
of Persian lithographed book, its circulation history, the origins
of its illustrating, printing techniques and the skill of
individual artists...
