Jigsaw Puzzles from Mary Evans Picture Library
Mother and Daughter in Istanbul
A Turkish Mother and duaghter strolling through Constantinople. The daughter is wearing the latest fashions from Paris, with a transparent veil. 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 evocative photograph, a Turkish mother and daughter stroll through the historic streets of Istanbul (then known as Constantinople) in the 1920s, epitomizing the era's unique blend of tradition and modernization. The daughter, dressed in the latest Parisian fashions, dons a transparent veil that signifies the newfound liberation of women in Turkey. Following the Turkish War of Independence and the rise of Ataturk, the country underwent a significant transformation. Women's lives were dramatically changed as they were freed from the constraints of heavy, impenetrable veils. Instead, they adopted lighter, thinner veils, symbolizing a move towards modernization and a shift away from Orientalist traditions. The daughter's pink shift dress, a popular trend in Western fashion during the 1920s, contrasts starkly with her mother's traditional Turkish attire. The mother's clothing, while not explicitly stated in the description, can be inferred from the context of the image and the era. The juxtaposition of their outfits highlights the social and historical significance of this period in Turkish history. This photograph is a poignant reflection of the changing times in Turkey during the 1920s. It captures the essence of a mother-daughter bond, as they walk hand in hand through the vibrant streets of Istanbul, embracing the new and the old. The image serves as a testament to the enduring power of cultural evolution and the resilience of women in the face of change.
