EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View of a Bridge on the Tigris, Baghdad" takes us back to 19th century Iraq. The image showcases a bustling scene in the heart of Baghdad, where life revolves around the majestic Tigris River. In the foreground, we see a rickety wooden footbridge that stretches across the river, connecting two sides of this ancient city. This makeshift bridge serves as a vital artery for daily transportation and trade. A traditional Iraqi boat gracefully glides beneath it, guided by skilled hands maneuvering an old tugboat. The architecture surrounding this vibrant scene reflects both Eastern tradition and French influence. The cityscape boasts intricate designs and domed buildings that stand proudly against the backdrop of an expansive vista. This print captures not only the physical beauty but also the spirit of resilience found in everyday life in Baghdad. It reminds us how people adapt to their surroundings with ingenuity and tenacity despite precarious circumstances. As we delve into this historical artwork by Giancarlo Costa, we are transported to another time—a snapshot frozen in history that allows us to appreciate both the architectural wonders and cultural traditions that define this enchanting Middle Eastern city on the banks of the mighty Tigris River.
