‘The Queen of
Afghanistan as
seen in Europe’,
Illustrated London
News, 4 February
1928, a photograph
of Queen Soraya
without a veil and her
legs bare below the
knee. Images such as
this published in the
Indian press found
their way to Kabul
and were exploited
by Islamic and anti-
European opponents
of King ’Aman Allah
Khan and contributed
to his downfall.
