Color Portraits of Immigrants at Ellis Island

Albanian soldier circa 1910 in a brimless felt cap is known as a qeleshe, whose shape was largely determined by region and molded to one’s head. His vest is decorated with embroidered braids of silk or cotton; its color and decoration denote the region where the wearer is from and his social rank.
