EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Arch of Ctesiphon, a testament to the grandeur of ancient Iraq. Built in the 1st century AD by Chosroes I, this architectural marvel stands as a symbol of Arab civilization and cultural heritage. The image, taken in the 1920s after the creation of modern-day Iraq, transports us back in time to witness this awe-inspiring structure. The camera lens captures every intricate detail of the arch's design, highlighting its historical significance. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of Mesopotamia's rich archaeological past and its pivotal role in shaping human history. The ruins surrounding the arch serve as a reminder of civilizations that once thrived here - from the Sasanian Empire to the Parthian Empire. The Arch of Ctesiphon, also known as Taq-i Kisra or Taq Kasra, represents an era when Persian influence was prominent in this region. Its majestic presence evokes a sense of wonder and admiration for those who appreciate architecture and historical preservation. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported to early 20th-century Iraq where photographers Kerim and Hasso Bros skillfully immortalized this iconic landmark. Their work allows us to delve into our collective history while appreciating their artistic vision. This print serves as a visual gateway into an ancient world that still resonates with beauty and intrigue today. It is not just an image; it is a portal through which we can explore centuries-old tales etched within these timeless ruins.
