The most detailed plan of Tabriz published in the nineteenth century.
The plan was commissioned by the Crown Prince Muzaffar Mirza (later Muzaffar al-Din Shah), who had been sent by his father to govern the northern provinces, Tabriz being its regional capital. The Qajar empire in the second half of the nineteenth century had begun to attempt to modernise the state and education system along European lines. The present survey was a result of that push, directed under the supervision of Colonel Mirza 'Abbas Kahn, who was head of Tabriz University. Mirza employed the skills of Muhammad Mirza (teacher of mathematics), Muhammad Reza (surveyor), and the deputy to the Chief aide-de-camp (ajudan), a son of Hasan 'Ali Khan, Colonel (sarhang) Qarajah-daghi.
To the upper-right of the plan is an extensive key providing information on the city's districts, roads, rivers, terrain, and buildings; to the lower left is an extensive list of public buildings.
