Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who led the Turkish War of Independence and became the first president of the Turkish Republic in 1923, is the figure named in this print's title. The caption card gives no date, and the record itself flags its information as unverified, so the exact occasion and photographer remain unknown. Portraits of Atatürk circulated widely in the 1920s and 1930s, when his image was used to represent the new republic's modernizing reforms, from the adoption of the Latin alphabet to changes in dress and civil law. Prints like this one are worth studying for how a single leader's likeness was reproduced and distributed during that period.
