The Late Nasir al-Din Shah Lying in State in the Takiah Dawlat, One of 274 Vintage Photographs Unknown. The Late Nasir al-Din Shah Lying in State in the Takiah Dawlat, One of 274 Vintage Photographs, 1896. Albumen silver photograph, 8 1/2 x 11 in. (1 ft., 27.9 cm). The relatively peaceful reign of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848-1896) was ironically brought to an end by his assassination. In this photograph, the rulers body lies in state on the stage of the Takiah Dawlat, the state amphitheater built for performing passion plays reenacting the lives of the Shiite martyrs. The rulers own martyrdom is dramatized by a ceremony involving government officials, military officers, and soldiers. Nasir al-Dins coffin is veiled in a dark cloth and placed on a massive carpet that cascades down the steps of the stage. While photography gradually replaced painting as the preferred medium for imperial portraits, it is interesting that overpainting has been used here to place emphasis on the sa
