Photograph of Hüseyin İsmail and Halil Ahmet no. 043

Studio photograph showing two young men, Hüseyin İsmail and Halil Ahmet, standing close together, both with short hair in kahkül style and Hitler-type moustache. The man on the right of the photograph (Halil Ahmet) wears a European-style suit made of striped fabric, a white shirt and a patterned tie. A white handkerchief appears in his breast pocket. His shoes are also western-style laced shoes. The other man (Hüseyin İsmail) wears a European jacket over his white shirt, in the opening of which a vest (fanella) is to be seen underneath. The rest of his dress is traditional. He wears çuha şalvar made of light blue broadcloth and decorated with black patterns. Around his waist he has a colourful silk sash (ipek tarabulus kuşak). His white woven stockings come up to the knees where they meet the ends of the şalvar. His footwear consists of black elastic-sided ankle boots (gonçlu potin) with white upper parts. A carnation is attached to the lapel of the jacket, and the breast pocket holds a handkerchief and a cigarette. Both men have cigarettes behind their ears, expressing their desire to look flamboyant.
