EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Tallisim tower of ancient Baghdad rampart, a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of Iraq. Built in 730 A. D. by Abu Jaffar el Mansour, the first founder of Baghdad, this tower stood tall for centuries until its unfortunate demise at the hands of the Turks during their evacuation in 1917. Taken in the 1920s after Iraq's creation as a nation, this image showcases not only the grandeur of Arab civilization but also serves as a poignant reminder of significant events that shaped Middle Eastern history. The city walls surrounding Baghdad are visible in the background, symbolizing both strength and protection. The fall of Baghdad marked an important chapter in history; it witnessed transitions from Abbasid dynasty rule to Ottoman Empire influence. The twenties were a time when architecture flourished amidst political changes and Mesopotamia campaign aftermath. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into an era long gone yet still resonating with cultural significance. It is impossible not to be captivated by the intricate details adorning every inch of this historical landmark - an ode to Arab culture and heritage. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon our shared past.
