TitleHere comes the bride. A picture of a sixteen year old Turkish Girl taken immediately after her wedding. It is the custom among the Turks in this town of Vranje, Serbia, to cover the Bride's face with gilt leaf, giving her the appearance of age. After the gilt leaf is taken off the girl must put on a veil and never remove it except in the presence of her husband. American Red Cross dentists attempting to treat the teeth of Turkish brides had to cut holes through the veils to do their work as the women would not remove them, fearing the wrath of their husbandsNotephysical details: glass Applies To: Applies To: all Title, date and notes from Red Cross caption cardPhotographer name or source of original from caption card or negative sleeve: ARC.
