Lale (Tulips) - Limited Edition 1 of 10 Print

As an Indian residing in Istanbul, I have tried many mediums to share my experience of this wonderful city & country with those who know less about them. With this objective, I have illustrated the (literal) A to Z of Turkey. Presented here is L for Lale (Tulips in Turkish). Though most of us would think of the Netherlands when we think of Tulips. But in fact, Tulips were introduced to Turkey much before they arrived in the Netherlands.Tulip motifs also show up in traditional Turkish handicrafts and even in the logo of the Istanbul Municipality. Every April, Istanbul quite literally blooms with Tulips of different varieties and colors and Tulip festivals are organized in various parks. Going to these Tulip festivals is kind of an annual pilgrimage for me, and through this little illustration I wish to share a bit of that experience with the viewer.
