EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Baghdad, Mesopotamia during World War I in 1918. The image showcases an Arab coffee shop, a vibrant hub where locals gathered to socialize and savor the rich flavors of traditional Arabic coffee. At this time, Mesopotamia was under British military control as part of their efforts in WWI. However, it wouldn't be long before Iraq emerged as a new nation in 1921. This historical context adds depth to the photograph, highlighting the significant changes that were taking place in this region during that era. The composition captures the essence of daily life with its intricate details. The street is lined with various shops and stalls, creating a lively atmosphere filled with activity. People can be seen going about their day, perhaps stopping by for a cup of aromatic coffee or engaging in conversations with friends. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this image while adding a sense of nostalgia. It serves as a visual reminder of how much has changed over the decades since then. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we are transported to an era long gone but forever preserved through photography. It allows us to appreciate both the cultural heritage and historical significance embedded within these walls and streetscapes of Baghdad's past.
