1818 Outfit Palestine Palestinian Regional Tall
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of traditional Palestinian attire as worn by a man and woman in the early 19th century. The man, tall and proud, dons a flowing white robe, or thobe, adorned with intricate embroidery and a red and white checkered headdress, or keffiyeh, which is secured with a black agal cord. His hands are folded behind his back, conveying a sense of calm and dignity. The woman, equally captivating, wears a long, flowing dress, or thobe, with delicate floral embroidery and a wide, red belt, known as a hikayat, cinching her waist. Her head is covered with a veil, or shawl, which is held in place by a traditional Palestinian hat, or tarboush, with a distinctive tassel. Her hands are adorned with intricate henna designs, a common practice for special occasions. The couple's outfits reflect the rich history and cultural heritage of Palestine, showcasing the regional diversity and unique fashion traditions that have been passed down through generations. The archway in the background adds a sense of depth and context, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rare and valuable glimpse into the national types and costumes of Palestine during the 1818 period. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse and intricate cultural traditions that have shaped the history and identity of this region.
