In the winter of 1912, the young French architect Maurice Pillet set out for Persia with the members of the Susa mission to uncover and study the palace of Darius. On this occasion, the new member of the excavation team took a series of photographs and wrote memoirs which recount not only the work and daily life of the excavators but also the various stages of their journey.
These photographic and written records provide an account of one of the most prestigious French archaeological missions (which had begun some thirty years previously); on the eve of World War I, they also offer a description of an Orient on the verge of disappearance.
This book was produced with the support of the Direction Générale de la Coopération Internationale et du Développement of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sous-Direction de l'Archéologie et des Sciences Sociales (Paris).
