The most beautiful wife in the harem of nearly 100 people of the Persian king

Over time, the standard of beauty has changed unbelievably.

Qajar (1789 - 1925) was one of the most influential dynasties in Persian history (Iran today). In this dynasty, women played a very important role in the life of the royal family, so the kings of Qajar's kings always possessed a very large harem, up to a hundred people.

Talking about the royal life, most of us will think of a palace filled with beautiful fairies, a life full of dreams for men. The part of the palace is right, but "pretty", then perhaps you will have to think again, because the concept and standards of beauty have changed a lot over time and cultural areas.

Like Nasser al-Din Shah (reigning in the late 19th century) and harem up to 84 wives is a good example. In 1842, Nasser al-Din Shah (11) received a gift from a camera from Queen Victoria. He was quickly conquered by the miracle of technology, and later used his power to turn the palace into the first photography studio in history.

And below is Anis al-Doleh , the most beautiful beautiful wife of Shah Nasser (shah is the common name for the Persian king). Her identity was considered " incomparable" at that time.

All comparisons of the times are lame. For the former Persians, the beauty of the beauty must come from the fullness, full of life, with super bold eyebrows and a row of whiskers.

It is a symbol of a woman in the royal family - full, never hungry, and not laboring.

It is known that Nasser al-Din Shah was the fourth king of the dynasty, took the throne in 1848 and reigned for 47 years - the longest in 3000 years of Iran and Persia history.

Usually, photographers are only allowed to capture the monarch and the royal princes and servants . are men. In addition, by law, face shooting is taboo, especially for women.

But Shah Nasser - a true fan of photography - allowed him to capture the harem of nearly 100 people, creating a collection of public images that should never have been known. Nobody can do anything about him, of course, because he is a king!

The harem team always wears a dress with a strange pattern called "shaliteh".

There is a noticeable detail in the king's photo, which is that the harem team always wears a rather strange dress, called "shaliteh". The dress looks pretty much like a ballet skirt, and there are rumors that this is not a coincidence.

In 1873, Nasser al-Din followed the invitation of Tsar Alexander Tsar II to visit Russia. Here he was "ballet " by Russian ballet dancers, then asked the harem team to dress like that.

But of course, they are only allowed to wear such clothes when they are on the photo, but normally they still have to wear traditional Muslim attire. Also, maybe this is just a rumor.
