Abstract
The gelatin printing technique was one of the practical and influential methods employed in political activities during the Qajar period in Iran, primarily used for producing clandestine pamphlets (shab-nāmi) and political announcements (i‛lānāt). Nonetheless, this technique was also employed, albeit to a lesser extent, for printing books. In this article, the author provides a brief overview of the history of this technique’s introduction into Iran and its geographical spread, and then proceeds to introduce books printed by this method that are currently held in Iranian libraries.
