  1. The next time that I have the delightful pleasure of your company, I pray that you will appear, vision-like, swathed in satins and sporting a bejeweled turban! May I count on such a fantasy becoming a reality?

  3. No turban gallery would be complete without an appearance by Dolly Madison. I think there might even be a daguerreotype of her in that attire. ...Mark

  4. Mark, Dolly has made one appearance in Turban- vii. I have seen the daguerreotype and in turban as an old(er) woman. She knew a stylish thing when she saw it. pgt

  5. Yes, I found it! I've never seen this very orange and sepia Dolly image before. Surprising, because it's a beautiful likeness.
