EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Arab Mounted Police helped the British crossing the dried up bed of an ancient canal" we are transported back in time to the tumultuous era of World War I. The image captures a poignant moment as Arab mounted police come to the aid of British soldiers navigating through the barren landscape. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of sand dunes and banks, showcasing the vastness and harshness of the desert. A group of horses, their majestic presence undeniable, stand at attention while patiently awaiting their riders' next command. These noble creatures symbolize both strength and resilience in this unforgiving environment. As our gaze shifts towards the men on horseback, we witness a unique alliance between different cultures during wartime. The Arab Mounted Police lend their expertise to assist British troops in traversing what was once an ancient canal now reduced to a dry riverbed. This collaboration highlights unity amidst adversity - a powerful testament to humanity's ability to bridge divides even in times of conflict. The composition exudes historical significance with its depiction of military uniforms adorned with keffiyehs - traditional Middle Eastern headdresses - serving as reminders that war often brings together disparate worlds. This striking lithograph from 1914-19 serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact, capturing not only a specific moment but also encapsulating larger themes such as cooperation, survival, and cultural exchange during one of history's most challenging periods – World War I.
