First sentence: Qajar Portraits presents a selection of portraits dating not from the full span of the Qajar era (1785-1925), but from what one can conveniently conceive as the 'Qajar Century', the hundred years from the accession of Fath 'Ali Shah in 1797 to the assassination of Nasir al-Din Shah in 1896.
