EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Mosul bridge in Mesopotamia during World War I in 1918. Mesopotamia, once a part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had fallen under British military control by October of that year. The strategic location of this bridge over the mighty Tigris River played a crucial role in shaping the region's history. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to a time when Iraq was yet to emerge as an independent nation. It is fascinating to witness how this landscape served as a backdrop for significant geopolitical changes. The monochrome tones add depth and texture to the image, emphasizing its timeless quality. The photographer remains unknown, but their work has preserved an important moment in Middle Eastern history for us all to appreciate. Today, Mosul stands as one of Iraq's largest cities and continues to be a symbol of resilience amidst conflict and rebuilding efforts. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the region's rich heritage and its ongoing transformation. Let us cherish this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection - not just for its aesthetic appeal but also for its ability to transport us back in time and inspire contemplation about our shared human journey through history.
