Photographer’s Note

Third in my portrait gallery is Prof.Muhibbe Darga. She is one of the first woman archeologists of Turkey. Prof. Muhibbe Darga was born in Istanbul in 1921. After she finished Erenköy High School for girls, she entered the Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Letters in Istanbul University. She worked as an assistant of Prof. H. Th. Bossert for two years after graduation. In 1947 she completed her doctorate. After doing research on Archeology in Germany and France, Darga decided to concentrate on philology and then attained her professorship.
Called "hot blooded youngster of archeology" even in her age of 88 she every year visits the archeological sites in central Anatolia, where she worked every summer for more than 5 decades.
I portrayed her in front of an oil canvas of her, painted by another famous female artist, Berna Türemen.
This capture is been scanned from a b&w print.
