EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Persia in 1872. The image is divided into two distinct scenes, showcasing the stark contrast between the lives of women within different realms of society. On the left side, we are transported into the intimate world of a harem, where women were secluded and lived under strict rules. Dressed in vibrant traditional garments, these women exude an air of mystery and allure as they engage in their daily activities. On the right side of the print, we step out onto the bustling streets of Persia. Here, we witness a completely different facet of womanhood - one that embraces freedom and public life. Clad in more modest attire compared to their counterparts on the left, these women confidently navigate through a vibrant marketplace filled with colorful textiles and exotic goods. The engraving technique used to create this image adds an extra layer of historical significance and artistic charm. Its retro-styled appearance transports us back to Victorian times when such illustrative techniques were highly valued. Through this vintage snapshot frozen in time, we gain insight into both past cultures and societal norms surrounding gender roles. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about grand events but also about ordinary people living their lives within diverse contexts – whether it be behind closed doors or out on bustling streets like those depicted here.
