Portrait of a Mohammedan Woman, Portrait of a Hindoo Woman, Portrait of a Christian Woman

“…Each of the stereotypes having been fashioned in tune with its specific religious paraphernalia, together add to the universal stereotype of the woman incorporating the male vision of her. This impact is enabled further by throwing a uniform, old-fashioned studio atmosphere over the frames. The same atmosphere becomes subtly employed as a part of and a means to the merger of historical periods. Within the certain lightness of the photographic medium and the ephemeral effects of illumination and shade, the images possess a specifically sculptural effect…”
