Turkish girl - 1920s - Liberation in Dress
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. Date: circa 1922

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of liberation and modernization in Turkey during the 1920s, as depicted in a photograph of a young Turkish girl selling flowers on a bustling Istanbul street. The date is circa 1922, a time when the country was undergoing a significant transformation under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The girl wears a veil, but it is a far cry from the heavy, impenetrable veils of the past. Her veil is lighter and thinner, reflecting the new social norms that were emerging in the wake of Ataturk's reforms. The move towards Western-style clothing was part of a broader effort to modernize Turkish society and move away from the heavy Orientalism that had long characterized the region. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with the vibrant colors of the flowers the girl is selling adding a splash of brightness to the otherwise monochromatic image. The girl's portrait-style photograph captures her in a moment of quiet concentration, as she focuses on making a sale to a passing customer. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the social and cultural shifts that took place in Turkey during the 1920s, as women gained newfound freedom and autonomy in their daily lives. It is a testament to the enduring power of fashion and personal expression to reflect and shape the zeitgeist of a time and place.
