One who did not need identification for me in this photo apart from Abolhassan Hakimi was Mr. Mohammad Ali Foroughi a prominent extra ordinarily learned man who was a protégé of Ebrahim Hakimi (there were members of the famous Bidari Lodge which included some of the key modernists including the artist Kamal el Molk Ghafari. Ebrahim had earlier introduced Foroughi to the court of Qajar to run the school for Ahmad Shah after the removal of Mohammad Ali Shah). Initially I thought Mr Foroughi was there to represent in the dispute with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (later Anglo, now British Petroleum) resulting in the infamous 1933 Agreement. My uncle Hashem Hakimi sent it to Mr Farhad Sepahbody his old friend & colleague whose father appeared in the photo.
