EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in 1906, showcases an enchanting moment between a Turkish beauty and a Western admirer. The Turkish woman wears a pair of colorful, ornate turned-up toed slippers, a traditional footwear style in Turkey known as "amokes" or "amoke." Her voluminous, richly patterned trousers and the veil on her head add to the allure of her traditional attire. The young woman's grace and poise are in stark contrast to the man's Western style, as he dons a black rubber-soled shoe, a common fashion choice in the West during this era. The man, dressed in a casual outfit and wearing a boater hat, shares a cigarette with the Turkish woman. The inset illustration adds an intriguing detail to the scene, highlighting the contrasting footwear styles and the shared enjoyment of a simple pleasure - smoking. This evocative photograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the diverse world of footwear and fashion during the early 1900s. The Turkish woman's exotic and vibrant appearance, juxtaposed with the man's Western attire, serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange and blending of styles that characterized this period. The card bearing this photograph was published by an unknown entity, but it is worth noting that the Woonsocket Rubber Company, a leading supplier of rubber during this time, may have played a role in the production of the man's footwear. This fascinating image invites us to explore the rich history of footwear and fashion from around the world.
