EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ladies of Caubul in their In and Out-of-Door Costume" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Afghanistan. Plate 24 from Scenery, Inhabitants and Costumes of Afghanistan, this lithograph engraving by James Rattray beautifully captures the essence of Afghan women's fashion during that era. Intriguingly mysterious, these ladies are seen adorned in their traditional attire, both indoors and outdoors. Their faces delicately veiled with yashmaks add an air of mystique to their presence. The intricate patterns on their garments showcase the rich cultural heritage of Kabul. The interior scene reveals a glimpse into the private lives within a harem as they indulge in leisurely activities. One woman gracefully holds a pipe while another elegantly puffs on her hookah, creating an atmosphere filled with tranquility and relaxation. Through this image, we are transported to a time when customs were vastly different from our own. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found in diversity and traditions should be celebrated for their uniqueness. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made available for public appreciation through Bridgeman Images. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its documentation of Afghan culture during the mid-19th century.
