EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us to a bygone era, capturing the essence of life in Baghdad during the 19th century. The scene depicts a charming cafe nestled on the banks of the majestic Tigris River, offering respite and relaxation to its patrons. The architectural details of this traditional Middle Eastern establishment are beautifully rendered, showcasing intricate designs that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Iraq. Men can be seen seated on a verandah, enjoying each other's company while taking in the breathtaking view before them. The atmosphere exudes tranquility as they engage in leisurely conversations against a backdrop of cityscape. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also the spirit of socializing and camaraderie that permeates through this riverside haven. The men appear at ease, basking in shade provided by elegant structures while savoring moments away from their daily routines. This evocative print serves as a window into an era long gone yet still resonating with timeless charm. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty of Iraqi architecture and culture, as well as providing an insight into how people sought solace amidst bustling city life along these historic riverbanks. Giancarlo Costa's masterful depiction invites us to imagine ourselves stepping back in time and immersing ourselves in this serene oasis on Baghdad's Tigris River.
