Bedouin woman

Original - Bedouin woman in Jerusalem, between 1898 and 1914.

Reason: A vintage photograph of a Bedouin woman in traditional attire. Unusual for one from this period to show her face. This image was popular with a recent GA drive so several editors searched for a high resolution file that would be suitable for cleanup and FPC. Restored from original LoC archives. A slightly different crop, unrestored, is at Image:Bedouin woman (1898 - 1914).jpg.
Articles this image appears in: Palestinian costumes; Bedouin
Creator: American Colony Photographers

Comment Wouln't a more recent color picture of a Bedouin be more encyclopedic? Muhammad(talk) 03:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In a discussion of historic textile arts, vintage photographs are highly encyclopedic. This woman most likely embroidered those decorative strips herself. Durova^Charge! 03:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, there are no recent alternative pictures of Palestinian Bedouins in such traditional dress, simply because they don't dress that way anymore. A recent picture would have to show a dressed mannequin, or a model wearing such an outfit, which is hardly as encyclopedic as the "real thing".
