Family group of Arbab's mother and daughter, Kala-i-Wamar. Grand-daughter with head turned. Photographer: Stein, Marc Aurel
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Group posed against stone wall beneath tree.
PUBLISHED: 'Innermost Asia', vol. 2, fig. 426: 'Group of Roshani family, Kala-i-Wamar. (See p. 886, note 2).' The note reads, in part: 'The women of Roshan are said to be famous for good looks and particularly for fairness of complexion. I had a wayside chance of convincing myself that this reputation was probably well-deserved, when, in company with the Ak-sakal of Kala-i-Wamar, I passed three generations of his family assembled in a group...near his home. Wife and mother were as fair of face as if they had been ladies of Europe. The elder of the two little girls in the group served to show how here, too, fashion endeavours to exaggerate favours bestowed by nature; for her grandmother was just busily engaged in smearing her pretty rosy cheeks with some wild berries intended to bleach the skin.'
