Description: 
Studio photograph taken by Photo Atlas around 1960. It shows an old man standing with a walking stick in his right hand. He has a moustache and beard. He wears a military-style jacket over a white woven shirt, buttoned at the centre front, dark, probably black, baggy knee-breeches, a striped light-coloured sash (kuşak) around his waist, and leather peasant boots made by a cobbler (GC tsagkaropodínes/TCy çangar çizmesi). Under the boots on the upper part, one can see part of the white underwear and dark stockings. The boots are tied with strings under the knees. On his head he wears a white kulak çapıdı (a scarf to protect head and ears).
