Probably Sebah & Joaillier (active between 1860 and 1890 CE). This portrait is a typical orientalist representation of “the veiled Turkish lady,” a longstanding popular subject with commercial photographers. This type of dress and face cover was adopted by upper-class women all over the Ottoman Empire, especially in Egypt, thus the wearer was not necessary of Turkish origin., Title and date devised by Library staff. The photograph is numbered (785)., Main Heritage Display General, HC.HP.2016.0053-0074, 2-D Graphic, Item-ID: i23694385, BIB-ID: 2523837 |
