EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1918, in Mesopotamia, as a boat sets sail on the majestic River Tigris. Mesopotamia, once part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had just come under British military control. Little did they know that this region would soon witness the birth of a new nation - Iraq - in 1921. The image showcases an Arab sailing boat gracefully gliding through the calm waters of the river. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. It is fascinating to see how transportation played such a vital role even then, connecting people and places along these ancient waterways. Mesopotamia's rich geography comes alive in this photograph as we admire its vast river system and lush surroundings. The location itself holds immense historical significance as it lies at the heart of what was once known as "the cradle of civilization". As we gaze upon this print by an unknown creator, we are reminded of how photography can capture fleeting moments that transcend time itself. This image allows us to reflect on both the past and present; it serves as a visual reminder of our ever-changing world and how nations evolve over time.
