Description:
P. 288 "Like all Persian females, when they walk abroad, their faces were closely veiled. Muhammedan law denounces death on any female who exposes her face to a male beyond the limits of her own household. A large covering is thrown over the person, when they go out, to which is commonly attached a small veil before the face with a patch of network half the size of a hand, before the eyes, to enable them to see to walk. This rigorous seclusion is, doubtless, as fruitful a source, as it is striking an index, of the unfaithful character of Muhammedan females. The practice of veiling in itself is said extensively to facilitate and screen illicit connexions." This image of a Persian woman away from her home shows her wearing a large outer garment called the chador (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 17) and a white veil.
