EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Tigris River in Samarra, Mesopotamia, during the year 1918. Mesopotamia, once a part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had recently come under British military control in October of that same year. Little did anyone know at the time that this region would soon witness significant historical changes. The image showcases a mesmerizing landscape with the Tigris River flowing gracefully through it. The river's tranquil waters reflect the surrounding cityscape of Baghdad, emphasizing its importance as a lifeline for trade and transportation in this ancient land. Taken during World War I (WWI), this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how conflicts can intersect with natural beauty. It symbolizes both hope and uncertainty for those who inhabited these lands during such tumultuous times. It is fascinating to consider that just three years later, in 1921, Iraq would emerge as an independent nation from this very place captured by an unknown photographer. This image offers us a glimpse into history before it unfolded—a moment frozen in time where nature meets civilization amidst war-torn landscapes. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back to an era when borders were being redrawn and new nations were taking shape—forever altering the course of human history.
