Ataturk and Inonu
Postcard depicting Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (1881 - 1938) and Ismet Inonu (1884 - 1973) - the effective founders and leaders of the Turkish Republic - inspiration to many in the Middle East, particularly Northern India, who saw, the ending of the Sultanate in Turkey as opening the possibility of the breaking up of India into India and Pakistan. Unusually, this card was published in Bombay and not Turkey (by the Bolton Fine Art Co.!)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard captures the enduring legacy of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and Ismet Inonu, the visionary founders and leaders of the Turkish Republic. The image, featuring the portraits of Ataturk and Inonu, serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative period in Turkish history that began with the end of the Ottoman Sultanate in 1923. Ataturk, born in 1881, is renowned as the father of modern Turkey, having led the country through its transition from an Ottoman province to a secular, democratic republic. His progressive reforms, including the adoption of a new Western-style constitution, the introduction of the Latin alphabet, and the promotion of women's rights, inspired many in the Middle East and beyond. Inonu, born in 1884, was a close ally and successor to Ataturk, serving as the republic's third president from 1938 to 1950. Together, these two men shaped the course of Turkish history, providing a model for other nations in the region seeking to modernize and break free from colonial rule. Interestingly, this postcard was published in Bombay, India, rather than in Turkey, by the Bolton Fine Art Co. The image of Ataturk and Inonu would have resonated with many in Northern India, who saw the end of the Ottoman Sultanate as a potential harbinger of change in their own region. The possibility of the partition of India into India and Pakistan was a topic of intense debate and speculation at the time, and the image of these Turkish leaders may have offered a source of inspiration and hope for those seeking a better future. Overall, this postcard is a poignant reminder of the historic significance of Ataturk and Inonu, and the profound impact they had on Turkish and Middle Eastern history.
