EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bustling market in Mosul, Mesopotamia, back in 1918. Mesopotamia, once part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had recently come under British military control during this time. The image provides a glimpse into the vibrant street life of this region. The scene is filled with activity as people navigate through the crowded market stalls and narrow lanes. Men can be seen going about their daily business, engaging in trade and commerce. It's fascinating to observe how these individuals dressed in traditional Arab attire interacted within their community. The photograph transports us to a bygone era when Iraq was still taking shape as an independent nation. Just three years after this picture was taken, Iraq officially came into being in 1921. As we delve deeper into history through images like these, we gain insights into the rich cultural heritage of Mesopotamia and its significance within the Middle East. This remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the past century while also highlighting the enduring spirit of trade and exchange that has characterized this region for centuries. Credit must be given to Unknown (creator) for capturing such an evocative moment from our shared past.
