EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Persian woman adorned in a traditional costume, captured around 1890 by the talented artist Gillot. The image is an illustration from the renowned work "En Perse, Types, Costumes and Moeurs" by L Boulanger, providing valuable insights into the people, costumes, and customs of Persia during that era. The vibrant colors of her attire beautifully reflect the rich cultural heritage of Iran. Dressed in a stunning ensemble with intricate details and patterns, this woman embodies grace and elegance. Her veil or hijab adds an air of mystery to her presence while symbolizing religious devotion within the Islamic faith. The photograph offers a glimpse into life within a harem—a secluded space where women resided in traditional Persian households. It serves as a reminder of the societal norms prevalent at that time. Persia's historical significance as an influential country steeped in religion comes to life through this image. The lady's traditional dress represents not only fashion but also reflects her identity as an Iranian Muslim woman. Preserved for over a century, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its role as a visual record documenting Persia's past. Through Gillot's skilled craftsmanship and Boulanger's meticulous research, we are transported back to 19th-century Persia—an enchanting world filled with tradition, beauty, and spirituality.
