Kut-el-Amara avant les evenements actuels - Chargement d'un chaland sur la rive du Tigre, 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the Collection de la Guerre IV, published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVII" during the first world war. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bustling activity on the banks of the River Tigris in Iraq, specifically at Kut-el-Amara, before the momentous events that were to unfold. The photograph captures a group of men, likely Iraqi laborers, working diligently to load goods onto a flat-bottomed boat, or chaland, which is moored at the riverbank. The men, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern clothing, are focused on their task, their faces expressing determination and concentration. In the background, other boats can be seen on the river, and the hustle and bustle of the scene suggests a thriving trade and transportation network. The River Tigris, a significant geographical feature in the region, plays a central role in the photograph. The river's waters have been a vital source of transportation and commerce for centuries, and the image underscores the importance of the river in connecting different parts of the world during the early 20th century. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when the world was on the brink of major change, and the everyday activities of people like those in the image were about to be disrupted by the unfolding events of the first world war. The photograph's anonymous creator has captured a moment in history that is both timeless and evocative, offering a glimpse into the past and the human stories that lie within it.
