Bedouin woman

 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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". Funkynusayri (talk) 06:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
