EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Persian woman in the act of smoking, taken in Kalgan around 1890. The image is an illustration from the renowned work "En Perse, Types, Costumes and Moeurs" by L Boulanger, providing a glimpse into the people, costumes, and customs of Persia during that era. The woman depicted exudes an air of relaxation as she sits barefoot on a beautifully patterned carpet. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of the late 19th century with her flowing skirt and colorful clothing. Despite being captured in monochrome tones, one can imagine the vibrant colors that adorned her dress. Intriguingly, she holds a hookah pipe known as a huqqa or hubble-bubble—a traditional Iranian smoking device—adding to the cultural significance of this portrait. Smoking was not only seen as a leisure activity but also carried social connotations within Persian society at that time. This photograph offers us a window into both personal relaxation and broader cultural practices prevalent in Iran during this period. It serves as a testament to how artistry can capture moments frozen in time while simultaneously shedding light on historical contexts. As we gaze upon this enigmatic lady lost to history's annals, we are reminded of our shared humanity across centuries and continents.
