The article analyzes the portrayal of Persian women in the 19th-century literary travelogues using an imagological approach. The study aims to critically examine the colonial discourse employed by Stanislav Yulyevic Lomnitsky (1854–1916) in his 1901 travelogue, Persia and Persians, which establishes Persia and the Persians as the “other” in contrast to the Russian “self ”. Moreover, it delves into how Lomnitsky’s work frames the East from the perspective of the West. By shedding light on these perspectives, the research provides a critical examination of Lomnitsky’ s colonial discourse within the context of Persia, offering insights into the interplay between cultures.
