EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of respite amidst the chaos of World War 1 in Iraq (Mesopotamia) and its surrounding areas. In the cool evening, exhausted men from the vicinity gather by the serene gliding river to find solace and relaxation. The constant flow of the river provides a soothing backdrop to their easy conversations, as they unwind from the burdensome heat of the day. On the veranda, these weary souls indulge in two simple pleasures that bring them comfort - tobacco and coffee. The Arab men sit together, enjoying their aromatic pipes while savoring cups of coffee, a delicacy they never tire of. The fragrant fumes intertwine with their conversation, adding an extra layer of flavor to this tranquil scene. The image showcases not only friendship but also resilience in times of war. Despite being surrounded by buildings that bear witness to conflict, these individuals prioritize moments like these – where camaraderie is cherished over everything else. Their relaxed postures reflect a sense of relief amidst turmoil. Photographer John Short has beautifully captured this historical moment through his lens, immortalizing it for generations to come. This photograph serves as a reminder that even during dark times, human connection and small joys can provide much-needed respite from adversity.
