    I'll check Gallica. I don't suppose you know what it was published in or as part of, or the French name for it? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 01:14, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It's from Coste's Monuments modernes de la Perse (Paris 1867), pl. VI–VII. The French title of the plate is "Place royale et mosquée Mesdjid-i-Chah, Ispahan". The Internet Archive version of this volume is a nice color scan of a copy in the Smithsonian. I've added the information to the Commons page. Choliamb (talk) 11:08, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
