Photograph of As Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, taken November 1921

Description

Sulaimani. Kurds in the bazaar. ?I spent....the first day in seeing the nice little town and walking about in the funny picturesque bazaars. They're a jolly people, the Kurds. Their huge twisted turbans, baggy trousers held up by yards and yards of knotted cotton belt and short felt jackets are a joy to look at.
