EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from early 20th century Baghdad, showcasing double-decked horse cars bustling through the streets. The image, taken by an English photographer, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the city during this period. The sight of these unique horse-drawn vehicles is truly mesmerizing, with donkeys pulling them along as they navigate through the busy streets lined with trees. The presence of automobiles in the background adds to the contrast between traditional and modern modes of transportation. This snapshot from history not only showcases the ingenuity of transport in Baghdad during that time but also provides insight into the rich cultural heritage of Iraq and its ties to the Ottoman Empire. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when horses were a common sight on city streets and played a crucial role in everyday life. As we admire this historical photograph, we are transported back in time to an era filled with charm and nostalgia. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Arab civilization and Middle Eastern culture that continues to fascinate us today.
