Women's Worlds in Qajar Iran

Ivanov (Roussie-Khan) was born in 1875 or 1876 in Tehran. His mother was a Russian Tatar and his father was British. Muhammad ʻAli Mirza called him Roussie-Khan and thus he became known as Roussie-Khan. Early on, he was an apprentice of Mirza ʻAbd Allah Qajar, but in 1907 or 1908, along with Mirza Mahdi Khan Musavvar al-Mulk, he founded the Photo Studio of Monsieur Roussie-Khan in the ʻAla’ al-Dawlah street of Tehran. Roussie-Khan died in March of 1968 in Saint-Cloud, near Paris.
