Lady feeding the pigeons - Constantinople, Turkey
A young lady in the latest fashions and holding a parasol, feeds the pigeons in Constantinople. One of a number 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
This photograph captures the essence of transformation and modernization in Turkey during the 1920s. The young lady in the latest Western fashions, adorned with a parasol, gracefully feeds a flock of pigeons in the ancient city of Constantinople. This image reflects a significant moment in Turkish history, as women began to liberate themselves from the heavy Orientalist modes of dress. Instead of the traditional impenetrable veils, they adopted lighter, thinner veils, signaling a shift towards modernization and Western thought. The lady's stylish outfit, with its contemporary cut and open neckline, represents the newfound freedom and social progress that was sweeping through Turkey at the time. The historical significance of this moment is further emphasized by the contrast between the elegant woman and the common pigeons, symbolizing the coexistence of the old and the new in Turkish society. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the liberating changes that took place in Turkey during the 1920s, as the country moved towards a more Westernized and modern identity.
