........In later chapters of the book I will discuss
this matter in the section of Culture and photography literature.It
is believed that Mr.Antoin went to Tehran a little before Mozafar-al-Din
shah the crown prince, or with him. |

He used
the picture of those medals on the back of some pictures and the brochure
of his photography studio. Mr. Antoin collected a valuable set of negative
glasses of Iranian old pictures. Unfortunately, this collection was
destroyed in a riot in Tehran. He helped professor Pop to illustrate
his famous book “ A glance at the Iranian art”. He did a
lot of work to perform this task. I (as a writer of this book) think
many of the pictures taken form the beginning of Mashroteh Movement
in Tehran, the sanctuary in the British Embassy, and other events of
that period, was done by Mr. Antoin. I myself posses a set of original
pictures of Mr. Antoin that shows his mastery and skillfulness in the
art of photography, however, it seems that some of them have been printed
form the pictures that were taken by other photographers form Iranian
scenery. Antoin Sevruguin has numbered the glass negatives and the body
of some of the pictures and in some of them he left his Russian script.
This artful photographer died in Iran and was buried in Tehran.
