The Impact of Iran's Presence in American Trade Fairs on Carpet Exports As was observed, the influx of new information and the reflection of the wealth and prosperity of American trade in the Iranian press of the Qajar era, while initially causing astonishment among Iranians, after some time excited Iranian statesmen and political representatives to such an extent that they demanded the export of Iranian goods to America and, at the same time, the import of this country's new achievements.
It is worth mentioning that before Iran's presence in these exhibitions, the sources of this period, especially newspapers, monitored the manner of holding these exhibitions with very high precision and reflected it to government officials to prove their importance; for example, the Akhtar newspaper 11 reports in 1293 AH on the establishment of the world's largest exhibition in Philadelphia, USA.
