Author Description

Stiff pictorial wrappers (softcover), 29,7 x 21 cm., 84 pp. with 86 phot. illustrations in black and white, originating from the collection Albertus Paulus Hermanus Hotz (1855-1930). This book is the result of an interest in the portrayal of the veiled women from North Africa and the Near East during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many of the images used also form part of an exhibition about the history and development of veiling.
