EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Girl of Baghdad; Journeyings in Mesopotamia,' is an enchanting glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century. The image is taken from H.W. Bates' 'Illustrated Travels,' published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The young woman in the photograph, dressed in traditional Iraqi attire, exudes a sense of grace and elegance. Her long, flowing robe, adorned with intricate embroidery and delicate fringes, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. Her headdress, adorned with a veil and ornate jewels, adds to her regal appearance. The photograph, taken in the heart of Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq, offers a rare and fascinating insight into the fashion and clothing of the region during the late 1800s. The image is a beautiful representation of the diverse and vibrant cultures that existed in the region during this period. This photograph, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into a world that exists only in history books and the pages of 'Illustrated Travels.'" "The photographer of this image is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken by Charles Rathbone Low or Henry Walter Bates, both of whom were prominent photographers of the time and contributed to 'Illustrated Travels.' The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, offering a unique perspective on the fashion and culture of the 19th century. The 'Girl of Baghdad' is a reminder of the rich and diverse cultural heritage that exists in the Middle East and the importance of preserving and celebrating it.
