Sahab Geographic & Drafting Institute, founded in Tehran in 1935 by Abolghasem Sahab and his son Abbas Sahab, was the first private geographic and cartographic institute in the Middle East. Abolghasem Sahab was a prominent Iranian writer and publisher, while his son Abbas (1921-2000) became known as the 'Father of Iranian Cartography', producing over 1500 works for the firm. This map was likely drafted by Abbas Sahab. Some Persian text.
