EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a camel train making its way through the vast desert of Mosul, Mesopotamia in 1918. Mesopotamia, once part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had recently come under British military control during this time. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and geography of this region. The camels, with their graceful yet sturdy frames, are seen traversing the sandy terrain as they transport goods and people across the arid landscape. Their presence evokes a sense of ancient tradition and resilience that has long been associated with Arab cultures. The stark monochrome tones enhance the timeless quality of this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and harshness of nature in one frame. As we gaze at this scene from over a century ago, it is impossible not to marvel at how much has changed since then. Mesopotamia would later become Iraq in 1921 when it gained independence as a new nation. This image serves as a visual reminder of an era when borders were shifting and new nations were being born. Through this historical snapshot captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness an essential mode of transportation that shaped life in these lands for centuries - the camel train.
