Old photographs are like time machines that take our sense of nostalgia for the past… However, although they have a historical quality, we sometimes come across that they are shared informationally ‘inaccurate’.

The nostalgic image shared by a page called “Learning We Are” on Twitter soon became viral. As a matter of fact, the appearance of the woman in this photograph does not resemble the 1900s, but rather today. That’s why some internet users say, “Hey bro, this photo is new. Are you kidding us?” and gave similar answers. Therefore, they are confused… The following statements are included in the post in the photo:

1900’s, a Turkish woman.

We held our magnifying glass to the image that was spreading with the claim that it showed a Turkish woman in the 1900s and presented it to you.

Photo Was Taken by a Studio Named”Retrograph” in 2014

Although it gives the impression that it belongs to the 1900s, we see that this photo actually shows today. To understand this, it is enough to use the reverse image search method.

 The photo is available on the Facebook page of a studio called Retrografi, which takes nostalgic clothing and lifestyle as a concept. The date of the post was September 2014. That is, only “eight” years ago… Therefore, the photograph is not from the 1900s, as it is claimed.

Retrografi introduced itself on its website as follows:

“Retrografi is a photographic work based on recreating the photographic technique and clothing style of the past by using today’s technology and materials.

19th century when portrait photography emerged. and the first half of the 20th century, when the traces of classical studio portrait photography are still visible. There are 4 different periods in retrograph shots; The Victorian era, which came to the fore in the fashion history of the 1800s, named after the Queen of England, the ‘Belle Epoque’ times before the First World War, the early times of the Republican era, the 1920s, when the woman, who became prominent with the Charleston dance after the First World War, began to liberate. and finally the authentic Anatolian period shaped by Anatolia’s geography, climate and culture.”

Therefore, as mentioned on social media, we see that the photo is not from the 1900s, but from today, that is, from 2014.
