The Yashmak. ca. 1897.
It appears as if this societal beauty is about to begin a trip that will lead her down the opium-infused primrose path to hell. A Story of the East was a theatre play also known as The Yashmak—the name for the veil worn by Muslim women to hide all but their eyes. The play was first produced at the original Shaftesbury Theatre in London in 1897 for a run of 121 performances.
