Fig. 672 . Musa Khan (seated) and Bala Khan, Morteza Khan Neydavud’s father. According to Musa Khan’s own inscription on the back of the photograph, this portrait was taken at the Royal Photoshop ('akaskhaneh-ye saltaniti) on the first of Elul, the year 5667 of the Hebrew calendar, some time after Musa Khan received an official invitation from the court to come to Tehran and perform for Naser al-Din Shah. Two copies of the photograph were produced. One belongs to Musa Khan’s grandson. The other is on display at Shah-Cheragh in Shiraz. At the time of the photograph, Bala Khan was the zarbgir (zarb player) in Naser al-Din Shah’s court. (Courtesy of CIJOH. From the collection of Nurollah Khanzadeh)
