A Persian Lady Veiled to Go Abroad

Notes:

P. 289 "Accordingly, when Persian ladies are fairly beyond the sight of their jealous masters, they often take down their veil and gaze freely upon the sons of men, and the beauties of creation, though in the letter and the spirit of Persian law they do it at the peril of their lives." This images shows a woman wearing the blue chador (Vogelsang-Eastwood p. 17) without the additional white face veil.
