Anavatan 1927


And now, just a quarter of a century later, a great map of Turkey in Turkey with the title Anavatan (The full sized image is here  courtesy of the Big Map Blog). We could discuss the role of gender in nationalist imagery, or why badly printed photos from this period always make people look like zombies, but instead let's just enjoy this nice map of Ankara in its infancy from the inset.
