EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling entrance of Baghdad bazaar in Mesopotamia during World War I in 1918. Mesopotamia, once part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had fallen under British military control just a few months prior to this image being taken. The architectural features of the archway leading into the market showcase the unique Arab design that is synonymous with Middle Eastern culture. The photograph provides a glimpse into daily life during wartime, as people go about their business amidst the backdrop of war-torn buildings. It serves as a reminder of both resilience and adaptability in times of conflict. The market itself represents not only a hub for trade but also acts as a symbol of community and connection within this ancient city. It is important to note that shortly after this photograph was taken, Iraq emerged as an independent nation in 1921. This historical context adds depth to our understanding of the image's significance. Preserved by The Print Collector, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to reflect on how war can shape landscapes and communities while also showcasing timeless architecture that has stood witness to centuries' worth of history.
