EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured in Iraq in 1925, we witness a profound moment of spiritual guidance. The image showcases a mullah engrossed in teaching prayer to a young man, symbolizing the passing down of religious knowledge from one generation to another. The composition exudes an aura of faith and devotion as the mullah, dressed in traditional Islamic attire with his keffiyeh draped elegantly over his head, imparts wisdom to his attentive student. Their solemn expressions reflect the gravity of the lesson being taught and highlight the significance of education within their culture. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Iraq, this photograph offers us a glimpse into Middle Eastern society during that era. It serves as a testament to the enduring power and influence of religion within this region. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to the scene, emphasizing its historical value. Published by Hasso Bros through Rotophot AG in Berlin, this print captures not only an intimate moment between teacher and pupil but also preserves an important cultural heritage for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by A Kerim, we are reminded that faith knows no boundaries or limitations; it is passed on through generations as individuals seek solace and connection with something greater than themselves.
