Mares Symbols Tail Veiled Veils Ottoman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, dating back to circa 1912, captures the essence of Turkish national pride and history with its depiction of four veiled women arranged in the shapes of window frames, framing the Crescent Moon and Star flag of the Ottoman Empire. The women, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, each hold a long, flowing veil in their hands, their faces partially concealed, adding to the mystique and allure of the image. The sabre, a symbol of power and strength, hangs from the flagpole, emphasizing the military and historical significance of the Ottoman Empire. The mares' tails, or clouds, in the sky above the women add a sense of movement and dynamism to the scene, while the Crescent Moon and Star flag, a powerful and enduring symbol of Turkish identity, takes center stage. This postcard offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Ottoman Empire was at the height of its power and influence. The veiled women, with their traditional attire and the iconic flag, serve as reminders of the rich cultural heritage and national pride that continues to define Turkey today. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the postcard, preserved over a century, attest to the skill and artistry of the printmakers of the time. This patriotic postcard is not only a beautiful piece of Turkish history, but also a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience of the Turkish people.
