EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1873 showcases the rich diversity and beauty of traditional Middle Eastern dress. The image features three models, each representing a distinct region within the Middle East. On the left, we see a married Muslim woman from Mecca, Saudi Arabia, adorned in an exquisite robe and wearing a veil that partially conceals her face. Her attire reflects the modesty and cultural traditions prevalent in this holy city. In the center stands a merchant from Mocha, Yemen, exuding confidence and elegance. His attire is characterized by vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reflecting the artistic heritage of Yemeni clothing. Finally, on the right side of the photograph stands a young Moorish woman from Tripoli, Libya. She captivates with her striking beauty enhanced by delicate jewelry adorning her nose ring. Her flowing robes showcase Libyan fashion at its finest. Photographed by Pascal Sebah using photogravure technique - an early form of photography - this image captures not only their clothing but also their individual personalities and stories. The sepia tones add depth to this historical snapshot. Through this remarkable portrait captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the richness and diversity of Middle Eastern culture through its traditional dress.
