The man smiles, with his head tilted slightly and legs crossed, gazing out towards the viewer. Photograph of 'Charlie' sent back to his sister from Egypt in 1919, where one may assume he was part of the British force (Middle Eastern Force) at that time attempting to overthrow the Egyptian revolution against British rule. It might seem amazing that Charlie would have had time to organize this elaborate and delightful get-up and have himself photographed. The dress is made from silvered brocade and chiffon, and the detailing of the outfit is superb from the 'sautoir' of (presumably) fake pearls to the beaded 'headache band' topped with black aigrette
