PAHLAVI MOHAMMAD REZA: (1919-1980) Shah of the Imperial State of Iran 1941-79. A fine vintage signed and inscribed 7 x 9 photograph of the young, handsome Shah in a half-length pose wearing his ceremonial uniform and decorations. Signed at the foot of the image in fountain pen ink with a warm inscription to his wife, Princess Fawzia, in French, ‘Avec tout l’amour de mon Coeur……Fawzia, cherie, Mohammad Reza’, and dated 31 st January 1942 in his hand. The inscription and signature partially run across a darker area of the image. A rare signed presentation photograph with an excellent association. Some very light, minor silvering to the upper edge and a few minimal traces of former mounting to the verso, VG Fawzia Fuad of Egypt (1921-2013) Egyptian princess who became Queen of Iran (1941-48) as the first wife of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Pahlavi and Fawzia were engaged in May 1938, however the union was largely regarded as a political move and the couple only saw each other once before their wedding at the Abdeen Palace in Cairo on 15th March 1939. It was not a love-match and Fawzia obtained an Egyptian divorce in 1945, which was not recognised in Iran until three years later.
