EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of grandeur and excitement as the crowd gathers to welcome Rifat Pasha, the Turkish Governor of Thrace, to Istanbul in October 1922. The image, taken in the historic city formerly known as Constantinople, showcases the vibrant energy of the 1920s in Turkey. Rifat Pasha, dressed in his formal attire, confidently steps off the carriage, greeted by a sea of onlookers and spectators. The reception was a significant event, marking the end of the Greco-Turkish War and the return of the region to Turkish rule. The image is filled with a sense of pride and jubilation, as the Turkish people celebrate their victory and the beginning of a new era. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of Istanbul and Turkey during the 1920s, a time of great change and transformation. The intricate details of the clothing, the expressions on the faces of the crowd, and the architectural backdrop all contribute to the rich narrative of this historic moment.
