EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the transportation of British troops up the Tigris River from Amarah to Baghdad in 1918. The image showcases a two-decker barge, filled with soldiers, making its way along the majestic river. The scene is bustling with activity as men and boys work together to navigate the boat through the water. Moored by sturdy ropes, the barge stands tall against the backdrop of an expansive river and vast geographical features. It serves as a symbol of resilience and determination during this pivotal time. Intriguingly, amidst their important task, some children can be seen bathing naked in the river nearby. This glimpse into daily life adds depth to the photograph, reminding us that even during times of war or transportations, people find solace in simple pleasures. The monochrome effect enhances both the historical significance and timeless beauty of this snapshot from early 20th-century Iraq. The print's creator remains unknown but has expertly captured not only a moment frozen in time but also emotions evoked by teamwork, dedication, and perseverance. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our shared human experiences throughout history while appreciating both individual stories and grand narratives woven within it.
