Two girls dressed for a wedding, Persia, 1918

Place
Persia · today Iran
Date
1918

Two barefoot girls in long patterned dresses and embroidered headdresses stand against a mud wall; the Methodist album caption reads "Two native girls dressed for a wedding. Persia, 1918." They are likely Assyrian, as the page sits among the album's Urmia mission photographs, but the caption does not say so.
