The Ottoman magazine Sevimli Ay ( Ottoman سويملى آى; İA : Sevīmlī Ay ; German : "Schöner Mond", "Lieblicher Mond") was from 1926 to 1927 the temporary title of the Ottoman-Turkish magazine Resimli Ay , which was published in Istanbul . There were a total of seven volumes with 72 issues. The editorial management of Sevimli Ay was the responsibility of the journalist Sabiha Sertel , who with her husband Zekeriya Sertel , also a journalist and general director for press affairs of the new republic, founded the predecessor Resimli Ay in 1924 in Istanbul. Shaped by their study visit to the USA , they wanted to contribute, together with other influential intellectuals, 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 .

The critical attitude of Zekeriya Sertel towards the Turkish state in the context of the republican movement led to his arrest in May 1925, so that Sabiha Sertel took over the financial, editorial and production-related management of Resimli Ay . In 1926 the magazine had to be discontinued due to state censorship and appeared for the following two years under its new title Sevimli Ay . Like its predecessor, Sevimli Ay was published monthly and consisted of a total of twelve issues, each with around fifty large-format pages. After Zekeriya Sertel's early release from prison, the publication of the magazine under its original name Resimli Ay was continued between 1927 and 1938 - from October 1928 also in the new Turkish Latin alphabet - with a few interruptions.

The publication , popular with the Turkish population, dealt with society- related issues 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 .
