Nasir al-Din Shah needed more money because he had spent so much on several holidays to Europe. On one of these trips he became enamoured with the Russian ballet and on his return home got his harem to wear tutus. Only I imagined that the harem joined in the tobacco boycott as a response to the tutus. His harem here has quite a mix of court clothes taken from paintings.
