Celebrating Celebration Fruchtermann Revolution Surround Turk Ottoman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir postcard celebrates the historic moment of the Young Turk Revolution on July 3, 1908, which marked the establishment of a new constitution in the Ottoman Empire. The postcard, produced in 1908, features an image of the new constitution surrounded by a floral motif and the inscription "Max Fruchtermann, Photographer." The Young Turk Revolution was a pivotal turning point in Turkish history, as it brought an end to the absolute rule of the Ottoman sultans and ushered in a new era of constitutional government. The revolution was led by a group of young, progressive intellectuals who sought to modernize the Ottoman Empire and bring it into the modern world. The new constitution granted civil liberties, including freedom of speech and the press, and established a parliament, or Meclis-i Mebusan, which represented the various ethnic and religious groups within the empire. The postcard's use of a floral surround and the celebratory tone of the text reflect the optimism and excitement that accompanied the establishment of the new constitution and the promise of a brighter future for the Ottoman Empire and its people.
