EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the right bank of the Tigris River and Samarra in Mesopotamia, taken in 1918. At this time, Mesopotamia was under British military control following its liberation from the Turkish Ottoman empire. The image showcases a moment frozen in history, as it depicts the region before the birth of Iraq as an independent nation in 1921. The photograph offers a glimpse into life along the riverbank during this tumultuous period. A boat and barge can be seen peacefully navigating through the calm waters of the Tigris River, serving as vital transportation links for both people and goods. The elevated view provides a comprehensive perspective of this geographical feature, with rocks scattered along its banks adding to its natural beauty. As we observe this scene from outside perspectives, we are reminded of how war shapes landscapes and societies alike. This particular image serves as a poignant reminder of World War I's impact on Asia and specifically Mesopotamia. It encapsulates not only historical significance but also highlights concepts such as transportation, geography, and water transport that played crucial roles during that era. Although created by an unknown photographer or creator associated with "The Print Collector" this remarkable print allows us to connect with our past by offering insight into a world long gone but forever preserved through photography's lens.
