New meets old - Istanbul
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. Here the old and the new meet, as a young lady greets an elderly Turkish man in Constantinople
