The Ottoman-Turkish magazine Resimli Ay ( Ottoman رسملى آى; İA : Resimlī Ay ; German : "Illustrated Moon" or "Illustrated Month") was published from 1924 to 1938 in Istanbul . There were a total of seven volumes with 72 issues. The founders of the magazine were the journalist couple Zekeriya and Sabiha Sertel , who, shaped by their study visit to the USA, wanted to contribute to the improvement of the political and economic living conditions - especially of Turkish women - as well as to the intellectual education of the Turkish population. The magazine thus represented a publication medium for the socialist and avant-garde needs of the 1920s.

In addition to Sabiha and Zekeriya Sertel , the latter general director for press affairs of the new republic and co-founder of the Istanbul daily Cumhuriyet , influential intellectuals such as Sabahattin Ali and Suat Derviş , as well as the Marxist poet Nazim Hikmet were among the article writers . Zekeriya Sertel's critical attitude towards the Turkish state within the framework of the republican movement led to his arrest in May 1925, so that his wife Sabiha Sertel subsequently took over the financial, editorial and production-related management. In 1926 the magazine had to be discontinued due to state censorship and appeared for the following two years under the title Sevimli Ay . Between 1928 and 1938 the publication of the magazine was continued under its original name Resimli Ay - from October 1928 also in the new Turkish Latin alphabet  - with a few interruptions.

The magazine, which was initially published monthly, contained around forty large-format pages per issue and cost 25 kurus; thus it was five times as expensive as an average daily newspaper. Despite its high price, Resimli Ay became a popular publication among the Turkish population and dealt with society-related topics in the form of editorials, opinion polls, letters to the editor, short stories and poems as well as self-help articles. In addition to dealing with contrary aspects such as child poverty and factory work compared to night clubs and dance trends, the role of the modern Turkish woman played a major role. Glamorous illustrations in the style of Vanity Fair or Vogue were intended to paint a cosmopolitan image of women in public and reflect the urban elite of Istanbul. The first issue, entitled “Bügünkü Türk Kadınlar” (“Turkish Women Today”), was dedicated to the cosmopolitan woman of the post-war period in Istanbul.
