She was dreadfully romantic. She read too many novels and carried her ideal world wherever she went.

ZIMMERMANN SILK ISADORA ROMPER SIZE 1
Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: ZIMMERMANN SILK ISADORA ROMPER SIZE 1.
Ball in the Concert Hall of the Winter Palace during the Official Visit of Nasir al-Din Shah, in May 1873 (1874). Mihály Zichy (Hungarian, 1827-1906). Gouache, lead pencil and white. State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg.
The historical version of Nasir al-Din Shah’s first visit to Europe was both less exotic (and erotic) and as strange as its fictional counterpart. Historians have speculated that the 1873 journey to Europe occurred at the behest of the Shah’s grand vizier, who in his zeal for reform believed it necessary for the Shah to see Europe with his own eyes.
