EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Arab robe from the Arabian Peninsula, dating back to 1916. Crafted with silk and adorned with intricate gold and silver thread embroidery, this garment is a true masterpiece of Middle Eastern textile art. Measuring 134x135 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. What makes this robe even more fascinating is its historical significance. It is believed that this very outfit was worn by T. E. Lawrence, famously known as Lawrence of Arabia, during his time serving with the Arab army from 1916 to 1918. The robe was gifted to him by Emir Faisal (later King Faisal of Iraq), adding a touch of royal allure to its already rich history. Presented to the Ashmolean Museum in 1965 by Dr M. R. and Professor A. W. Lawrence, this remarkable piece has become a treasured part of their collection. Its stunning embroidery and luxurious fabric make it an emblematic representation of traditional Middle Eastern wedding garments. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness the opulence and craftsmanship that went into creating such a magnificent dress - a testament to both cultural heritage and artistic skill within the region's clothing traditions.
