EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from c1935 showcases the national flag and coat of arms of Iraq, a country steeped in rich history and cultural heritage. The image, captured by an unknown creator for "An Album of National Flags and Arms" exudes a sense of power and identity. The Iraqi flag proudly unfurls with its distinctive design - a tricolour featuring horizontal stripes of black, white, and green. These colors symbolize various aspects: black represents the Abbasid Caliphate's downfall; white signifies peace; while green embodies Islam. A golden star adorns the center stripe, representing the Kurdish minority within Iraq. Atop this vibrant flag stands a majestic lion rampant, embodying strength, courage, and royalty. Crowned with regal splendor, it exemplifies Iraq's historical ties to ancient civilizations such as Babylon. The close-up shot against a pristine white background allows us to appreciate every intricate detail on this heraldic emblem. The horse-shaped trapezoid banner adds another layer of symbolism – horses have long been associated with power and freedom throughout history. As we gaze upon this historic artifact frozen in time by "The Print Collector" we are reminded of the importance placed on national pride during that era. This photograph serves as both an artistic representation and a testament to Iraqi nationalism during the 1930s – an era marked by change, struggle for independence, and aspirations for self-determination.
