Metal Print : Modern and Old Costume in Turkey
Metal Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Modern and Old Costume in Turkey
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 1920s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of transformation in Turkey during the 1920s, following the liberation of women from the traditional, heavy Orientalist modes of dress. The image depicts a Turkish woman, dressed in both modern and old attire, standing in front of a reflective surface. She wears a lighter, thinner veil, signifying the move towards modernization and Western thought. In her other hand, she holds a fashionable handbag and an umbrella, symbols of the contemporary Western lifestyle. The backdrop of Istanbul or Constantinople, the historic city straddling Europe and Asia, adds to the rich cultural context of the scene. This photograph reflects the social and cultural shifts that occurred in Turkey during this period, as women embraced new styles and freedoms. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of significant change and progress, and this image encapsulates the spirit of that era in Turkey.
