EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Middle East, specifically Iran, during the late 19th century. The engraving by Eugene Girardet beautifully illustrates a scene from Jane Dieulafoy's diary "A Suse" which was featured in the renowned publication "Le Tour du Monde" directed by Edouard Charton. In this image, we see an Arab woman surrounded by sawers of long ten foulis, or traditional Persian garments. The craftsmanship of these clothes is evident as they drape elegantly over their wearers. Each individual seems deeply engrossed in their work, meticulously creating intricate designs on the fabric. Girardet's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into the engraving brings life to this historical moment. The tree trunk behind them serves as a reminder of nature's presence amidst human artistry. As we gaze upon this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported to a different era and culture. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of these skilled craftsmen and women who dedicated themselves to preserving their heritage through their craft. This photograph not only captures the beauty of Iranian tradition but also pays homage to the rich history that lies within each stitch of these exquisite garments. It stands as a testament to both artistic talent and cultural preservation that continues to inspire generations even today.
