Photographic Print : New meets old - Istanbul

New meets old - Istanbul
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. Here the old and the new meet, as a young lady greets an elderly Turkish man in Constantinople

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vibrant and historic city of Istanbul, the old world meets the new in this image from the 1920s. The backdrop of the iconic skyline, adorned with domes and minarets, sets the stage for a poignant moment of social interaction between the generations. A young Turkish woman, dressed in a modern shift dress and a lighter veil, greets an elderly man with a warm smile. This scene reflects the significant shift in women's fashion and societal norms that took place in Turkey following the liberation movement led by Ataturk in the 1920s. The transition from heavy, impenetrable veils to lighter, thinner ones was a bold move towards modernization and Westernization, as Turkey sought to break free from the shackles of heavy Orientalism. The young woman's contemporary attire and the elderly man's traditional Turkish garb symbolize the blending of the old and the new, as Turkey embraced the changing tides of the 20th century. This evocative photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Turkish history, as the country moved towards a more socially progressive future while preserving its rich cultural heritage. The meeting of these two individuals, dressed in their respective styles, serves as a powerful reminder of the dynamic interplay between history and the present.
