Mohammad Reza I of Iran is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Mohammad Reza I of Iran as Shah of Iran from 1941 to 1979.
Mohammad Reza I of Iran was born at Tehran in 1919. His recorded nationality is Pahlavi Iran.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as politician and monarch.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Knight Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (1957), Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour (1939) and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath.
Working from Pahlavi Iran shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Mohammad Reza I of Iran died in 1980 at the age of 61. The work outlived the arguments around it.
