EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1918, in the heart of Mesopotamia. The image showcases Amara, a city located on the left bank of the majestic River Tigris. Mesopotamia, once part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had recently fallen under British military control in October of that same year. The landscape captured here is both serene and enchanting. The flowing waters of the Tigris create a sense of tranquility amidst an ancient land rich with history. This region has long been known as a cradle of civilization, and its significance cannot be overstated. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph, we are transported to a time when Iraq was yet to become an independent nation. It is fascinating to reflect on how much has changed since then – from political boundaries shifting to societal transformations taking place over decades. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown; however, their talent for capturing such breathtaking scenery is undeniable. Through their lens, they have immortalized Amara's beauty for generations to come. This print serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also as an invitation to explore and appreciate the geographical wonders that exist around us.
