Veiled woman of Arabia. Details

28 / 28

“These women are all heavily veiled, and no man is allowed to look behind a woman's veil unless he is her husband, or her father, or her brother. A man is not even allowed to see his wife's face until after they are married — and then it's too late! But fortunately the younger generation are adopting this thinner type of veil which simply seems to add to their beauty.”

-Lowell Thomas
“With Allenby in Palestine” (1919)
