Description
English: The Bibliotheca Alexandrina's caption erronesouly states that this is a commemorative photograph of the wedding of King Farouk I and Queen Farida of Egypt. In fact, it is a commemorative photograph of the wedding of Farouk's sister Princess Fawzia and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the then crown prince (later shah) of Iran. The persons sitting in the front row who can be identified with certainty are (from left to right): In the upper side of the photograph can be seen the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Egypt (left) and the coat of arms of Pahlavi Iran (right). The wedding is considered an important event in the history of Egyptian–Iranian relations,[1] as well as a milestone in Shi'a–Sunni relations: King Farouk I was the ruler of the Muslim world's most powerful Sunni country, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was crown prince of the world's largest Shi'a country, and the wedding ceremony was performed by Mustafa al-Maraghi, rector of Al-Azhar, the world's foremost Sunni religious institution.[2]

This Egyptian work is currently in the public domain in Egypt because its copyright has expired pursuant to the provisions of Intellectual Property Law 82 of 2002.
