Looks like then Iran was more liberal than nowadays. Especially looking at the portrait of a girl with open legs.

Uh, girl with the open legs? You mean the one roasting meats sitting cross legged with a long skirt, the bride with the many layers of wedding gown disguising everything besides her knee? Honestly don't know what you're talking about, but yeah, it's safe to assume that when fundamental religion gains civil authority, life tends to suck. Doubly so if you are unlucky enough to be female.

I meant Miss Chirine Tahmassab sitting on a chair.
Ok, so what mades the fundamental religion to prevail so much since those days? Politics?

The person above is Russian - perhaps they meant bare legs, as in the portrait of the foreign diplomat?

These are lovely! Photos of Iran in this time give me chills, though. Behold, the power of religious zealotry on a people.

Отсюда мораль - когда государство деградирует до диктатуры от культурных кодов ничего не остаётся.
