Turkish man and woman - modern style
Modern Turkish Man and Woman near the Galata Tower. Picture from a set of cards issued to reflect the fact that soon after Ataturk took over in Turkey in the 1920s, there was liberation by women from the old modes of dress. Instead of impenetrable veils, they wore lighter, thinner veils. It was a move to modernisation and more Western thought away from heavy Orientalism

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a modern Turkish man and woman are depicted strolling near the iconic Galata Tower in Istanbul, Turkey. The image is a poignant reflection of the significant social changes that took place in the country during the 1920s, following the liberation of women from the old, oppressive modes of dress. At the time, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder and first President of the modern Turkish Republic, was spearheading a movement towards modernization and Westernization. One of the most notable aspects of this transformation was the shift in women's clothing. Instead of the heavy, impenetrable veils that had long been a part of Turkish culture, women began wearing lighter, thinner veils that allowed for more freedom and flexibility. The woman in the photograph is elegantly dressed in a shift dress, a Western-style garment that was becoming increasingly popular among Turkish women during this period. Her veil is thin and unobtrusive, allowing her face to be seen. The man, dressed in a modern Turkish fez and Western-style suit, completes the image of a couple embracing both their rich cultural heritage and the modern, Western influences that were shaping their society. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the social and cultural shifts that took place in Turkey during the 1920s, as the country moved towards a more Westernized, modern identity. It is a testament to the courage and determination of the Turkish people to embrace change and forge a new path for themselves, leaving behind the heavy burdens of the past.
