EDITORS COMMENTS
This exceptionally rare postcard, dated May 1928, captures a historic moment in international relations between Turkey and Afghanistan as the two leaders, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and Amanullah Khan, share a rowing boat on the waters of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. Ataturk, the President of the Republic of Turkey, is shown dressed in a naval uniform, his strong and determined gaze fixed on the horizon as he expertly rows the boat. Amanullah Khan, the Sovereign of Afghanistan, wears traditional Afghan clothing and holds a walking stick, adding an air of regality to the scene. Both leaders are seen with their respective national flags in hand, symbolizing their proud and independent nations. The meeting between Ataturk and Amanullah Khan was significant as it marked a period of improved diplomatic relations between the two countries. Turkey and Afghanistan had a long-standing border dispute, but under Ataturk's leadership, Turkey sought to establish peaceful relations with its neighboring countries. Amanullah Khan, who was known for his modernizing reforms in Afghanistan, was also keen to strengthen international ties. The image of the two leaders in a rowing boat is a testament to their shared commitment to building bridges between their nations. The scene is reminiscent of a peaceful and harmonious coexistence, with the waters of the Bosphorus reflecting the calm and tranquil atmosphere of the moment. The postcard offers a unique glimpse into a historical moment, providing a fascinating insight into the personalities and diplomatic efforts of two influential leaders of the early 20th century.
